1 General Description
1.1 Overview
This is a 2.7” a-Si, active matrix TFT, Electronic Paper Display (EPD) panel. The panel
has such high resolution (117 dpi ) that it is able to easily display fine patterns. Due to
its bi-stable nature, the EPD panel requires very little power to update and needs no
power to maintain an image.
1.2 Features
- a-Si TFT active matrix Electronic Paper Display(EPD)
- Resolution: 264 x 176
- Ultra low power consumption
- Super Wide Viewing Angle - near 180°
- Extra thin & light
- SPI interface
- RoHS compliant
- Wide temperature support
1.3 Applications
- Electronic shelf label (ESL)
- Reusable container
- Badge

Note (3): Refresh time is the time that e-paper particles move not including the power
on and of f time. The refresh ti me is measured at 25 ºC. The refresh time
and contrast ratio varies due to different films, display performance
requirements, and ambient temper atures.
Note (4): Contrast r atio (C.R.): The Contrast ratio is calculated by the following
expression. C.R. =(R% White) / (R% Black). Reflectance is measured at
120 seconds after refresh.

6.2.2 Ghosting
Below are two test methods to verify that ghosting within an acceptable range.
Test 1 and Test 2 use measured data to calculate Delta E which is a single
number representing the distance between two colors in a 3 dimensional color
space. Test 1 and Test 2 are performed at 25 ºC. Before L, a, b data
measurement. The data measurement is at RT.
Test 1: White to Black Ghosting
Test 2: Black to White Ghosting
The formula is used to calculate Test1 and Test2. For example of Test 2:
△E*ab = [ (LB – LB’)2 + (aB – aB’)2 + (bB – bB’)2 ]1/2

8 Precautions
(1) The EPD Panel / Module is manufactured from fragile materials such as glass and
plastic, and may be broken or cracked if dropped. Please handle with care. Do not
apply force such as bending or twisting to the EPD panel.
(2) It is recommended to assemble or install EPD panels in a clean working area. Dust and
oil may cause electrical shorts or degrade / scratch / dent the protection sheet film.
(3) Do not apply pressure to the EPD panel in order to prevent damaging it.
(4) Do not connect or disconnect the interface connector while the EPD panel is in
operation.
(5) Please support as the bezel with your finger while connecting the interface cable such
as the FPC.
(6) Do not stack the EPD panels / Modules.
(7) Do not press the FPC on the glass edge or Pull FPC up / down to 90°.
(8) Do not touch the FPC lead connector.
(9) Do not touch IC bonding area. It may scratch TFT lead or damage IC function.
(10) Wear a Wrist Strap (Grounding connect) when handling and during assembly.
Semiconductor devices are included in the EPD Panel / Module and they should be
handled with care to prevent any electrostatic d ischarge (ESD). (An Ion Fan may be
needed in assembly operation to reduce ESD risk.)
(11) Keep the EPD Panel / Module in the specified environment and original packing boxes
when storage in order to avoid scratching and keep original performance.
(12) Do not disassemble or reassemble the EPD panel.
(13) Use a soft dry cloth without chemicals for cleaning. Please don’t press hard for cleaning
because the surface of the protection sheet film is very soft and without hard coating.
This behavior would make dent or scratch on protection sheet.
(14) Please be m indful of mo isture to avoid its pe netration into the EPD pane l, wh ich may
cause damage during operati on.
(15) It’s low temperature operation product. Please be mindful the temperature different to
make frost or dew on the surface of EPD panel. Moisture may penetrate into the EPD
panel because of frost or dew on surface of EPD panel, and makes EPD panel damage.
(16) High temperature, high humidity, sunlight or fluorescent light may degrade the EPD
panel’s performance. Please do not expose the unprotected EPD panel to high
temperature, high humidity, sunlight, or fluorescent for long periods of time. Please
store the EPD pane l i n controllable environment of warehouse and orig inal package:
Without sunlight, without condensation, a temperature range of 15ºC to 35ºC, and
humidity from 30%RH to 60%RH.
(17) The label ink used for marking the Panel ID number is erased easily by solvent. Please
av oid using solvent to clean the EPD panel.
(18) The EPD is vacuum packed.
(19) Before approved by PDI and customer, products and product specifications may be
subject to change without notice. Confirm that you have received the latest product
standards or specifications before final design, purchase or use.
(20) PDI makes every attempt to ensure that its products are of high quality and reliability.
However, contact PDI sales office before using the product in an application that
demands especially high quality and reliability or where its failure or malfunction may

directly threaten human life or cause risk of bodily injury, such as aerospace,
aeronautics, nuclear power, combustion control, transportation, traffic, safety
equipment or medical equipment for life support.
(21) Des ign your application s o that the product is used w ithin the ranges guaranteed by
PDI particularly for maximum rating, operating supply voltage range, heat radiation
characteristics, installation conditions and other characteristics. PDI bears no
responsibility for failu re or damage when used beyond the guaranteed ranges. Even
within the guaranteed ranges, consider normally foreseeable failure rates or failure
modes i n semiconductor d evices and em ploy systemi c measures such as f ail safes, so
that the equipment incorporating PDI product does not cause bodily injury , fire or other
consequential damage due to operation of the PDI product.
