2.7 Inch 176x264 E Ink Display Module SSD1680 Driver 4-SPI 24 Pin Electronic Label Panel

With 176x264 pixels across a 38.19 x 57.29 mm active area, this 2.7 inch module sits between a shelf tag and a small notice board. The film is electrophoretic: microcapsules hold charged pigment in a clear fluid, a pulse drives the required colour to the surface, and the particles stay in place after the field is removed. The image costs nothing to hold, so a bin label shows a part number, a count and a handling symbol for as long as the record stands. The SSD1680 runs the panel over 3-wire or 4-wire SPI from a 2.2 to 3.7 V supply, the pixel pitch is 0.217 mm, and the module weighs 5.04 g, light enough for a magnetic or clip mount on a steel shelf.

Warehouse bin labels show a part number and a quantity. Spare parts drawers show a description and a reorder point. Laboratory reagent shelves show a name, a concentration and a hazard symbol. Medical device trays show a reference and a sterilisation date. Workshop tool boards show a tool size and a calibration date. Each has room for several lines of text at reading distance, which is exactly what a 2.7 inch face provides.

The extra area over a 2.13 inch tag buys rows: four to five lines fit without shrinking type below comfortable reading size, which matters on an aisle where a picker reads at a glance rather than stopping. A red or yellow field can flag a quarantine hold or a priority item without adding a coloured sticker. The 45.8 x 70.42 mm outline matches common drawer label holders, so a paper label can be swapped for an electronic one without new hardware. And at 5.04 g with a 1.0 mm profile, the module does not sag in a magnetic holder.

The module prints part numbers, quantities, hazard symbols and revision letters, takes 3-/4-wire SPI data, refreshes fully when a description changes and partially when a count updates, and preserves the frame through a power loss. Partial refresh matters in a stockroom: a count change every hour should not flash a whole label and draw attention.

Commissioning: fix the label holder, connect the 24 pin FPC, apply the supply within 2.2 to 3.7 V, send the SSD1680 initialization table, write a frame and refresh fully. Update counts with partial refreshes, and repeat a full refresh after a battery or supercapacitor swap. Confirm that the holder does not press on the film, since clip pressure shows as a permanent grey mark.

Keep the panel within 0 to +50 C and out of oily or solvent laden air, which attacks the film edge seal over time. Do not press the film when inserting a label into a holder, protect the FPC from drawer impact, and avoid repeated full refreshes in quick succession. A label placed on a vibrating bin should be checked for FPC fatigue after a few months.

Dispatch is 5-10 working days after payment, with express for pilot racks and consolidated air or sea for warehouse projects. Monthly capacity near 100,000 pieces covers multi-site installations.

T/T, L/C at sight and Western Union are accepted; pilot orders are prepaid and project volumes follow a deposit plus balance against documents.

Panels ship with protective film in anti-static trays, separated by foam, sealed in a moisture barrier bag inside an export carton with carton and tray counts on the packing list.

Minimum order is 10 pieces, suitable for a pilot rack. Arrival damage is replaced after photo confirmation, the 12 month warranty covers manufacturing defects, and our team supports label templates and host driver integration.
