I bought mine from Pimoroni (UK)[1] but they're out of stock now. I use it for a photo display.
Pros:
* they look nice and consume very little energy
Cons:
* long time to refresh (about 20 seconds)
* only 7 colours. For photos you'll need to do dithering

- Nursie 4y agoThere are loads of variants on aliexpress - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001744549862.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001744549862.html You just need to make sure you get the one that's set up for how you want to use it, i.e. the one in the linked write-up is designed as a 'hat' some come with a simple ribbon->SPI breakout, some come with no adapter/breakout at all. I recently did a project with a similarly sized 3-color (black/white/red) screen like this one - https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002842153362.html https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002842153362.html Which was lots of fun, I used a RP2040-zero board to control it, hooked to an internal USB header on my gaming PC, and it now shows... well it shows the time and the CPU/GPU temps because when I finally got it working, I lost the will to do much more with it :)
