Waveshare 5.79 inch E-Ink Display Module 792x272 E-Paper
Waveshare 5.79 inch E-Ink Display Module is a 792 x 272 black-and-white e-paper module with an onboard driver board, making it much easier to connect to Raspberry Pi, Jetson, Arduino, STM32, and other MCU platforms than a raw panel. It is a strong fit for electronic shelf labels, smart price tags, asset and equipment tags, conference badges, and low-power status displays that need paper-like readability and extremely low standby power.
Compared with a raw e-paper panel, this version already includes the driver board, SPI interface access, and onboard voltage translator for 3.3V / 5V MCUs, which makes prototyping and product integration much more straightforward. Waveshare provides the official 5.79 inch e-Paper Module manual, the detailed user manual PDF, and the official demo code package for development.

Features
- 5.79 inch e-paper module with onboard driver board for easier development and integration.
- 792 x 272 resolution for clear text, icons, labels, and compact user interfaces.
- Black / White display with 4 grayscale levels for readable low-power information presentation.
- Partial refresh support for faster updates in periodic-refresh applications.
- SPI interface for straightforward use with Raspberry Pi, Jetson, Arduino, STM32, and other controllers.
- Onboard voltage translator compatible with both 3.3V and 5V MCUs.
- No backlight, with the last image retained after power-off.

Other Content
This SKU is the module version with driver board, so it is better suited than a raw panel for evaluation, prototyping, and product development with standard controller boards. It gives developers direct SPI access and avoids the extra hardware work required to bring up a raw e-paper panel.
The combination of paper-like readability, ultra-low standby power, partial refresh support, and 3.3V / 5V MCU compatibility makes it especially practical for labeling systems, low-power embedded interfaces, inventory displays, smart tags, and other applications where content updates occasionally instead of continuously.

FAQ
Is this a raw e-paper panel or a module with a driver board?
This SKU is a module with an onboard driver board, which makes it easier to evaluate and connect than a raw display panel.
Which platforms is it suitable for?
Waveshare provides development resources for Raspberry Pi, Jetson series, Arduino, and STM32, and the module is designed for SPI-based integration.
Does it support partial refresh?
Yes. The official specification lists partial refresh support, which is useful for low-power periodic updates.
Does it need continuous power to keep the image visible?
No. Like other e-paper displays, it retains the last image after power-off, with power mainly needed during refresh.
