SHARP Memory Display Breakout - 1.3" 96x96 Silver Monochrome info

SHARP Memory Display Breakout is a cross between an e-Ink (e-paper) display and an LCD. It has the ultra-low power usage of e-Ink and the fast-refresh rates of an LCD. This model has a matt silver background, and pixels show up as little mirrors for a silver-reflective display, a really beautiful and unique look. It does not have a backlight, but it is daylight readable. For dark/night reading you may need to illuminate the LCD area with external LEDs.

SHARP Memory Display Breakout is 3V powered and 3V logic, so there is a 3V regulator and a 3V level shifting circuitry onboard. The display slots into a ZIF socket on board and a piece of double sided tape is used to adhere it onto one side. There are four mounting holes so you can easily attach it to a box.

SHARP Memory Display Breakout is 'write only' which means that it only needs 3 pins to send data. However, the downside of a write-only display is that the entire 96x96 bits (1,152 bytes) must be buffered by the microcontroller driver. On an Arduino Uno/Leonardo that's half the RAM available and so it might not be possible to run this display with other RAM-heavy libraries like SD interfacing.

There is not a detailed tutorial yet, but starting to use SHARP Memory Display Breakout is pretty easy. You just need to solder the included header to the display and connect Vin to 3-5V, GND to ground, and SCK, DI and CS to three Arduino pins. Then download and install Adafruit’s SHARP Memory Display library and the Adafruit GFX library. Run the example “sharpmemtest” sketch with the correct data pins to start drawing lines, circles, rectangles, text, etc!
