As of May 1, 2021 - we are now selling this bonnet with an E-Ink display that uses the SSD1680 chipset as the SSD1675 is discontinued/unavailable. The resolution and size are the same, but firmware/python code will need to be updated to use the SSD1680-driver in our library rather than SSD1675!
As of October 2022 - we've updated this PCB with Adafruit Pinguin to make a lovely and legible silkscreen - you may get the new PCB or the older version with vector fonts - both are identical other than the fancy silkscreen. Additionally, this bonnet may come with a black or tan STEMMA QT connector. They work the same!
As of August 21, 2024 - The old 2.13" display has been discontinued, we're now shipping with the GDEY0213B74 which is still an SSD1680 but has 16-pixel offset when configuring the memory layout. This is the SSD1680Z.
Because of the different chipsets, you will need to be able to choose the correct driver for the display you will be using it with. It's easy to tell the difference if you know what to look for.
On the eInk display itself, the SSD1675 version has two tabs on the righthand side:
The SSD1680 version has only a single tab on the righthand side:
The SSD1680Z with GDEY0213B74 has a larger radius in the area by the tab where the ribbon cable is connected. The 4 corners of the main display area are also slightly rounded:
