The YE029A241 is an Active Matrix Electrophoretic Display (AMEPD)
optimized for medium-size color-coded scenarios. It features a
2.9-inch active area (29.06×66.90mm) with 128×296 pixels
(0.226×0.227mm pitch, 112 DPI), supporting Black/White/Red 3-color
display—ideal for electronic shelf labels and information
classification. The module integrates a SSD1680 driver IC,
including gate buffer, source buffer, timing control, oscillator,
DC-DC converter, SRAM, and LUT, ensuring stable performance. With
an ultra-thin outline (36.7×79.0×0.9mm without masking film) and
lightweight design (5.098±0.5g), it fits seamlessly into devices
like electronic shelf labels, portable terminals, and smart
wearables. The hard-coat antiglare surface and pure reflective mode
eliminate glare under strong light, while bi-stable technology
ensures ultra-low power consumption—only drawing current during
screen updates.

Product Picture
The YE029A241 excels in medium-size color-coded scenarios with its
112 DPI display and 3-color capability. It vividly presents
classified information—red for promotions/urgent alerts, black for
text, and white for background—making it perfect for electronic
shelf labels, smart wearables, and portable terminals. Its pixel
pitch (0.226×0.227mm) ensures sharp text and barcodes, even small
fonts remain legible. The hard-coat antiglare surface eliminates
glare under direct sunlight, maintaining readability in retail
stores or outdoor kiosks. With an ultra-thin (0.9mm) and
lightweight (5.098±0.5g) design, it fits into space-constrained
devices like smart labels, while ultra-low power consumption (≤3μA
deep sleep) enables over 12 months of battery life for
daily-updated applications.
The YE029A241 is mainly designed for Electronic Shelf Label (ESL)
systems, with diverse industry applications. In retail, it serves
as standard electronic shelf labels for groceries, electronics, and
more, using 3-color display to highlight promotions (red), product
names/prices (black), and stock status (white background)—enhancing
customer information access and reducing manual update costs. In
logistics, it functions as cargo tags, displaying waybills and
statuses with red for urgent shipments, withstanding -25~60℃
transportation for 10 days. In smart wearables, its compact size
fits into fitness trackers or smart badges, showing steps, heart
rate, or alert notifications. With ROHS2.0+HF+REACH compliance and
rigorous reliability testing (high/low temperature, humidity,
vibration, ESD), it meets global environmental and reliability
demands.
Core Advantages
>
The YE029A241 features 128×296 resolution (112 DPI) with
0.226×0.227mm pixels, delivering sharp text, barcodes, and 3-color
graphics. Its color performance is precise: red state L*=25~26.5
(a*=38~40), white state L*=64~65, and black state L*=11~14. The
high contrast ratio (white reflectance divided by dark reflectance)
ensures clear visibility in low light. The pure reflective mode
saves power by eliminating backlighting, while the hard-coat
antiglare surface reduces glare under direct sunlight. With an
ultra-wide viewing angle, there’s no color deviation from any
direction, supporting multi-person viewing for shared devices.
Powered by bi-stable technology, the module only consumes power
during updates (max 80mAs at 25℃) and draws ≤3μA in deep sleep. A
standard lithium battery can power daily-updated devices for over
12 months, reducing replacement frequency. It has a 5-year design
life (25℃/60%RH, daily updates) and passed rigorous reliability
tests: 240-hour high/low-temperature operation (40℃/0℃), 168-hour
high-humidity operation (40℃, 90%RH), ESD testing (contact ±2KV/air
±8KV), and UV exposure resistance (765 W/㎡ for 168hrs).
With an outline of 36.7×79.0×0.9mm and weight of 5.098±0.5g, the
YE029A241 fits into medium-size devices like electronic shelf
labels and portable terminals. The flexible FPC with PI stiffener
(0.30±0.03mm) simplifies installation in non-flat layouts. It
supports 3-wire/4-wire SPI (selectable via BS pin) and I2C for
temperature sensors, compatible with most MCUs and embedded
systems—no complex drivers needed. Pins 6 (TSCL) and 7 (TSDA) can
be grounded if external sensors aren’t used, simplifying circuit
design.
The module complies with ROHS2.0+HF+REACH standards, meeting global
environmental requirements. It features a hard-coat antiglare
surface that resists scratches and fingerprints, protecting the
display from daily wear. The 12+1 months warranty (1 month delivery
time included) provides peace of mind for bulk purchases. Strict
shipment inspection ensures defect-free delivery: spot defects
≤0.4mm (N≤4) in active area, no display malfunctions or errors, and
scratch defects ≤5mm (W≤0.3mm, N≤2).
