Overview
Inkplate 6COLOR is a vibrant evolution of the Inkplate e-paper family, featuring a 5.85-inch color e-paper display capable of rendering 7 distinct colors: Black, White, Red, Yellow, Blue, Green, and Orange. Powered by the reliable ESP32 microcontroller and designed for plug-and-play usability, it's ideal for creative, low-power display applications that need more than just black and white.
Like all Inkplate devices, it runs on minimal energy, drawing just 18 µA in deep sleep, and comes with a microSD slot, real-time clock, and full support for Arduino and MicroPython. With optional 3D-printed enclosure and battery options, Inkplate 6COLOR is a complete and flexible solution for colorful e-paper development.
