Adafruit SHARP Memory Display Breakout – 1.3 Inches – 168 Pixels x 144 Pixels Monochrome

The 1.3 inches 168 pixels x 144 pixels SHARP Memory LCD display is a cross between an eInk display and an LCD. It has the ultra-low power usage of eInk and the fast-refresh rates of an LCD. This model has a gray background, and pixels show up as black-on-gray for a nice e-reader type display. It does not have a backlight, but it is daylight readable. For dark/night reading you may need to illuminate the LCD area with external LEDs.

The display is write only which means that it only needs 3 pins to send data. However, the downside of a write-only display is that the entire 168×144 bits must be buffered by the microcontroller driver. That means you cannot use this with an ATmega328 or ATmega32u4. You must use a high-RAM chip such as ATSAMD21, Teensy 3, ESP8266, ESP32, etc. On those chips, this display works great and looks wonderful.
