13.3‑inch E‑Paper Module – High Contrast E Ink Display

Product Details: JicTech 13.3‑Inch E‑Paper Display Module

Overview

The JS1330DNG05‑TNG‑A0 is a large‑format Active Matrix Electrophoretic Display (AM EPD) module designed for high‑visibility, low‑power information display applications. With a 13.3‑inch diagonal active area, it offers a clear, stable image with support for three colors (black, white, red) without the need for a backlight. The module integrates a complete driver system including gate/source buffers, timing controller, DC‑DC converters, SRAM, LUT, and VCOM generation, making it easy to interface via SPI. Its pure reflective, bi‑stable nature ensures content remains visible with zero power between updates.

Key Features

Large, High‑Resolution Display: 13.3‑inch active area with 960×680 pixels for detailed text and graphics.
Three‑Color Support: Black, White, and Red (BWR) for enhanced visual communication.
Ultra‑Low Power Consumption: Deep sleep current as low as 3 µA; power only required during updates.
Integrated Driver System: On‑chip SSD1677 controller with OTP waveform storage, temperature sensor interface, and internal voltage regulators.
Dual Interface Options: Configurable 4‑wire SPI or 3‑wire SPI via hardware selection pin (BS).
Wide Viewing Angle & High Contrast: Pure reflective mode with excellent readability from all angles.
Robust & Slim Design: Module thickness of only 1.20 mm, RoHS compliant, and tested for industrial reliability.
Long Operational Life: Supports up to 1,000,000 update cycles or 5 years of continuous use.

Applications

Electronic Shelf Labels (ESL) and retail price tags
Digital signage and information boards
Public transport timetables and wayfinding
Industrial and warehouse labeling
