Waveshare 7.5inch e-Paper Raw Panel Case for DIY with Driver Board

Overview

The Waveshare 16089 is a protective enclosure for 7.5-inch e-paper raw panels designed for DIY applications with custom driver electronics. It is intended for use with Waveshare 7.5-inch e-Paper panels in the compatible raw-panel formats, including the standard 7.5-inch e-Paper, 7.5-inch e-Paper (B), 7.5-inch HD e-Paper (B), and 7.5-inch e-Paper (C). The enclosure is made of ABS plastic and provides internal space for an unframed panel and a custom driver board.

The panel is retained by magnets, which simplifies installation and removal without screw fastening. A micro USB cut-out is integrated into the housing so that compatible controller boards with this connector position remain accessible from outside the case. The product is a mechanical accessory for an e-paper display subsystem and is not compatible with Waveshare 7.5-inch e-Paper HAT versions.

The display-related technical data for the supported 7.5-inch e-paper panel includes a resolution of 800 x 480 px, a display size of 7.5 inch, a pixel density of 133 ppi, an active area of 163.2 x 97.92 mm, a viewing angle of 180°, and an operating voltage of 3.3 V. The panel data also lists full refresh time of 5.0 s, fast refresh time of 1.5 s, and partial refresh time of 0.5 s.
