You have red green blue and black, which means you can dither colors together to make any color. My two complaints are that my unit came damaged (you can see the smudge behind the screen in the lower right corner of the picture), and second is that the refresh rate is an honest to God 30 second redraw cycle. Use this for projects that won't update but a few times a day to avoid the annoying redraw time and to take advantage of power savings. Review: Not "Full Color" - Previously had a good experience with Waveshare products, unfortunately not this one. This screen is advertised as a "Full Color" display, but it's actually a 6-color display, as in it only displays 6 colors as defined in their firmware: #define EPD_4IN0E_BLACK 0x0 /// 000 #define EPD_4IN0E_WHITE 0x1 /// 001 #define EPD_4IN0E_YELLOW 0x2 /// 010 #define EPD_4IN0E_RED 0x3 /// 011 #define EPD_4IN0E_BLUE 0x5 /// 101 #define EPD_4IN0E_GREEN 0x6 /// 110 Don't be fooled by the "Spectra" branding, this looks nothing like the demos of full-color Spectra 6 eink displays. ## Features - Adopts E Ink Spectra 6 (E6) technology, featuring high contrast and high color saturation - No backlight, keeps displaying last content for a long time even when power down - Ultra low power consumption, basically power is only required for refreshing - Standard Raspberry Pi 40PIN GPIO header, supports Raspberry Pi series boards, Jetson Nano, and RDK X3 Adopts Raspberry Pi HAT+ standard to improve interoperability, helping the users to design and develop faster, easy to use with other peripherals and extend more functions for Raspberry Pi - Adapting SPI interface for connecting with controller boards like Raspberry Pi/Jetson Nano/RDK X3/Arduino/STM32, etc. Onboard voltage translator, compatible with 3.3V / 5V MCUs ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B0DHTNHRRY | | Best Sellers Rank | #629 in Single Board Computers (Computers & Accessories) | | Brand | waveshare | | Built-In Media | 4inch e-Paper HAT+ (E) | | Compatible Devices | Raspberry Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 4B, Raspberry Pi 3B, Raspberry Pi Zero, Raspberry Pi Zero W, Raspberry Pi Zero 2W, Raspberry Pi Pico, Raspberry Pi Pico W, Raspberry Pi Pico WH, Jetson Nano, Jetson Orin Nano, RDK X3 | | Connectivity Technology | SPI, HAT | | Customer Reviews | 3.0 out of 5 stars 8 Reviews | | Included Components | 4inch e-Paper HAT+ (E) | | Manufacturer | Waveshare | | Mfr Part Number | 4inch e-Paper HAT+ (E) | | Model Name | 4inch e-Paper HAT+ (E) | | Model Number | 4inch e-Paper HAT+ (E) | | Operating System | Linux | | RAM Memory Technology | LPDDR4 | | Warranty Description | 1 year | | Wireless Communication Standard | 802.11ac | | Wireless Compability | 802.11ac | ## Product Details - **Brand:** waveshare - **Connectivity Technology:** SPI, HAT - **Included Components:** 4inch e-Paper HAT+ (E) - **Model Name:** 4inch e-Paper HAT+ (E) - **Operating System:** Linux ## Images ![Waveshare 4-inch E Ink Spectra 6 (E6) Full Color E-Paper Display, Compatible with Raspberry Pi 4B/3B/Zero/Zero W/Zero 2W/Pico, Jetson Nano and RDK X3, with HAT+ Driver Board - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81GNGAFyfeL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good but expensive *by A***N on May 13, 2026* It is true full color so ignore the idiot that doesn't understand the color spectrum.
