Welcome to the Pervasive Displays Knowledge Base!

The hardware section describes the e-paper technology and provides the datasheets of the screens, extension boards and development kits.

  • E-Paper Technology


    The technology section provides a gradual introduction to the e-paper technology.

  • Screens


    The EPD driving sequence describes the procedures to update the screens.

  • Extension Boards


    Find the technical documentation for the extension boards EXT4 ; EXT3.1, EXT3-Touch and EXT3-Giant.

  • Development Kits

The software includes the drivers library and the Pervasive Displays Library Suite. The drivers library manages the panel and the board, and displays the image from the frame-buffer on the screen. The Pervasive Displays Library Suite or PDLS provides the text and graphics primitives to generate the image in the frame-buffer, and then calls the driver library.
