Created for use in a variety of IoT applications, such as fitness and health wearables, smart home and smart metering, the kit helps engineers take advantage of the benefits of displays in their designs, without significantly impacting the power budgets. E-paper displays use much less energy than a traditional TFT liquid crystal display (LCD), because they require no backlight and do not need to be refreshed constantly to maintain a visible image.
