10-inch 1600×1200 E Ink Spectra 6 color e-paper display module with reflective technology, bistable image retention, and low-power operation for smart home and industrial information displays.
The 10-inch 1600×1200 E Ink Spectra 6 display module, model ED2208-KOA (EL100UF1), is a high-resolution reflective electrophoretic display designed for electronic devices that require detailed color information, low power consumption, and persistent image display. Built on an active-matrix TFT backplane and featuring E Ink Spectra 6 technology, this module supports six colors: black, white, red, yellow, blue, and green.
With a 10-inch display area, 1600 × 1200 pixel resolution, and approximately 200 pixels per inch (PPI), the EL100UF1 provides a detailed viewing area for information panels, smart home interfaces, electronic labels, and specialized equipment displays. Its reflective operating principle uses ambient light rather than a conventional LCD backlight, making it suitable for applications where a paper-like visual appearance and energy-efficient information presentation are priorities.
The module also features bistable image retention. Once an image has been written, the display can maintain that image without continuous power being required to refresh the unchanged content. This characteristic is particularly useful for devices that display schedules, operating status, energy consumption information, or other data that changes periodically rather than continuously.
For OEMs and product developers, the ED2208-KOA offers a display component for integration into customized electronic systems. A compatible display controller, appropriate waveform file, driving circuitry, power management, and application software are required to operate the panel as part of a complete product.
High-resolution 1600×1200 pixels: The 10-inch panel delivers detailed text, icons, diagrams, and structured information layouts for professional and smart home applications.
E Ink Spectra 6 color technology: Six display colors—black, white, red, yellow, blue, and green—allow developers to distinguish information categories, emphasize notifications, and create more expressive interfaces than monochrome e-paper.
Reflective electrophoretic technology: The display uses ambient light instead of a conventional backlight. This can help reduce power requirements and support comfortable viewing in appropriately illuminated environments.
Bistable image retention: The display can retain an unchanged image without continuous refreshing power, making it suitable for applications that prioritize persistent information over continuous animation.
Low power consumption: The datasheet specifies typical average operating power of approximately 0.45 W under defined measurement conditions, with a maximum average value of 0.75 W. Actual system power depends on image transitions, the controller, driving circuitry, and other system components.
Anti-glare surface treatment: The protective sheet has an anti-glare treatment to help manage reflections under suitable lighting conditions.
Slim and lightweight construction: The specified module dimensions are 219.1 × 166.7 × 0.78 mm, excluding masking film, with a module weight of 31 ± 6 g.
50-pin interface connector: The module uses a Hirose FH34SRJ-50S-0.5SH connector and a 16-bit TTL data bus, providing defined electrical connections for compatible display-driving hardware.

Technical note: Optical measurements and power values depend on the datasheet's test conditions. The 50 Hz specification describes the maximum refresh rate in the timing section; it does not mean that a complete six-color image can be updated 50 times per second. The stated typical image update time is approximately 12 seconds at 25°C.
The 10-inch Spectra 6 color e-paper display is best suited to products that need to present readable information while minimizing the need for continuous display refreshing. Its resolution, color capability, and bistable behavior support several potential application categories.
Smart home manufacturers can evaluate the module for wall-mounted information panels, household dashboards, and connected home interfaces. A finished device could display room temperatures, lighting status, household schedules, energy consumption summaries, or notifications from a home automation system.
The six-color display allows designers to distinguish different types of information visually. For example, red could highlight an alert, yellow could indicate a reminder, and green could identify a normal operating state. These are software-defined interface choices rather than built-in functions of the display itself.
Because the image can remain visible between updates, this type of e-paper display can be attractive for smart home products that show relatively stable information. The final device must include the necessary controller, host processor, sensors, and communication hardware.
The ED2208-KOA (EL100UF1) features a 1600 × 1200 pixel resolution, a 4:3 aspect ratio, and approximately 200 PPI. It provides a detailed display area for text, icons, diagrams, and structured information.
The module supports black, white, red, yellow, blue, and green. Actual color performance depends on the driving waveform, controller implementation, temperature, and optical conditions.
Yes. It can be evaluated for smart home information panels, household schedules, energy dashboards, room status displays, and connected home interfaces. The completed product must provide the required control electronics, sensors, and connectivity.
The supplied specification describes the display module and its electrical interface. It does not confirm that a driver board, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, or a host processor is included. These components must be verified separately for the intended configuration.
The datasheet specifies typical average operating power of approximately 0.45 W and a maximum average value of 0.75 W under defined measurement conditions. Standby power is specified at up to 60 mW under the stated conditions. Complete system consumption will depend on the controller and other electronics.
The timing specification lists a maximum refresh rate of 50 Hz. This figure should not be interpreted as a 50 Hz full-color image update rate. The typical image update time is approximately 12 seconds at 25°C, so the module is better suited to relatively static content.
Its reflective operation can be beneficial in well-lit environments, but actual readability depends on ambient lighting and viewing conditions. The specified normal operating temperature is 0°C to 50°C. Outdoor use also requires evaluation of temperature exposure, enclosure protection, moisture, and mechanical requirements.
Project-specific integration requirements should be discussed with AptusDisplay. Depending on the requested scope and component availability, the team can assess display selection, related display components, cable requirements, and mechanical integration. Any driver board, optical bonding, cover glass, or other customized assembly must be confirmed separately rather than assumed to be included with the standard module.
