Soldered Inkplate 6FLICK - 6" e-paper with enclosure and battery

Description

The device Inkplate 6FLICK by Soldered is a programmable e-paper module equipped with a 6-inch E Ink ED060XC3 display with a resolution of 1024 × 758px. The screen supports both black-and-white mode and 3-bit grayscale with 8 levels, as well as partial refresh. Refresh time is approximately 225ms in 1-bit mode and approximately 1.26s in 3-bit grayscale mode.

Inkplate 6FLICK features a capacitive touchscreen supporting two simultaneous touch points and an integrated frontlight with 64 brightness levels. This makes the module suitable not only for displaying static information, but also for building interactive control panels, readers, terminals and graphical user interfaces. The e-paper panel retains the displayed content without power, while the frontlight allows the device to be used in low-light conditions.

The module is based on the ESP32-WROVER with WiFi and Bluetooth connectivity. The board includes a microSD card reader, a battery-backed real-time clock and an easyC/Qwiic connector. GPIO lines as well as I2C and SPI interfaces are also available. The USB-C connector is used for power and programming, while the CH340 provides USB-UART communication. Inkplate 6FLICK supports Arduino, MicroPython and ESP-IDF, works with LVGL, and its Arduino library is compatible with Adafruit GFX.

Product variant 333320 is supplied with an enclosure and a 3.7V Li-Ion battery. The onboard charging circuit allows the battery to be charged through USB-C, while deep-sleep current consumption is approximately 23µA. Dimensions of the device with the enclosure are 173.3 × 116.8 × 14.5mm. The e-paper panel is reclaimed from e-book readers, so minor cosmetic marks may be present on its surface without affecting display operation.
