Overview
The CrowPanel 2.13″ E-Paper HMI Display is an ESP32-S3-powered electronic paper screen that mimics the look and readability of real paper. A hard-coated anti-glare surface keeps content visible even in direct sunlight, and its pure reflection mode means no backlight is needed — the last image stays visible even after power loss.
Built around the ESP32-S3 chip running up to 240MHz, with 8MB Flash and 8MB PSRAM, it communicates over SPI and is fully supported in the Arduino IDE. Multiple onboard buttons and interfaces (UART0, BAT, 2×10 GPIO) make it straightforward to wire into a DIY build.

Product information
Use cases
- Build a Smart Home Control Panel
- Show sensor readings, automation status, or reminders on a screen that can stay on indefinitely without draining power thanks to its no-backlight design.
- Create Electronic Shelf Labels or Price Tags
- Ideal for battery-powered labels that update occasionally and stay legible with zero power draw between refreshes.
- Prototype a Low-Power E-Reader or Badge
- The ESP32-S3 and Arduino IDE support make this a solid base for a DIY e-reader, conference badge, or wearable display project.
