Product Picture

The YE0437A08 E-PAPER display module excels in compact scenarios
with its 4-color display and small form factor. As shown in the
images, it can vividly present color-coded information—such as red
for promotions, yellow for warnings, and black/white for basic
content—making it ideal for mini electronic shelf labels, smart
wearables, and portable terminals. Its 117 DPI resolution and
rectangular pixels (0.217×0.217mm) ensure sharp text and graphics,
even in limited screen space, while the hard-coat antiglare surface
eliminates glare under direct light, maintaining readability in
retail stores, logistics warehouses, or outdoor kiosks. Whether
used for displaying product prices, cargo labels, or health data,
its ultra-thin (0.90mm) and lightweight design fits seamlessly into
space-constrained devices, while low power consumption ensures long
battery life.
The YE0437A08 E-PAPER display module has a wide range of
applications across multiple industries. In retail, it serves as
mini electronic shelf labels for small-sized products (e.g.,
cosmetics, stationery), using 4-color display to highlight
promotional items (red), new arrivals (yellow), and regular goods
(black/white)—enabling customers to quickly identify key
information. Its low power consumption (≤3μA deep sleep) eliminates
frequent battery replacements, reducing retail maintenance costs.
In logistics and warehousing, it functions as compact cargo tags,
displaying waybills, destination details, and inventory statuses
with color-coded alerts (e.g., yellow for urgent shipments), while
withstanding transportation temperatures of -25~60℃ for up to 10
days. In smart wearables and portable devices, its ultra-thin
(0.90mm) and lightweight design fits into fitness trackers, smart
nameplates, and handheld terminals, serving as a low-power
information display. Additionally, in industrial control, it works
as small equipment status monitors, using color coding to indicate
normal (white), warning (yellow), and fault (red) states—supporting
landscape/portrait modes to adapt to different device layouts. With
ROHS2.0+HF+REACH compliance and rigorous reliability testing, it
meets environmental and long-term use requirements in diverse
scenarios.
Core Advantages

The YE0437A08 supports Black/White/Red/Yellow 4-color full-display,
with precise color performance: red state L*=25~28 (a*=38~40),
yellow state L*=55~62 (b*=63~68), white state L*=63~65, and black
state L*=9~14. This enables color-coded information classification,
ideal for scenarios like retail promotions and logistics alerts.
Its compact outline dimension (46.6×115.86×0.90mm) and lightweight
design fit into small devices, while the 176×480 resolution (117
DPI) ensures sharp text and graphics—even small fonts (8pt) remain
legible. The pure reflective mode and high white reflectance (35%
typ.) deliver a paper-like visual experience, while the hard-coat
antiglare surface reduces glare under direct sunlight, maintaining
readability in outdoor or bright indoor environments. With an
ultra-wide viewing angle, there is no color/brightness deviation
from any direction, supporting multi-person viewing.
Based on bi-stable display technology, the module only consumes
power during screen refresh—panel power consumption is 150 mAs
(typ. at 25℃), while deep sleep mode current is ≤3μA. When paired
with a standard lithium battery, electronic shelf labels refreshed
once daily can operate for over 12 months without replacement. The
integrated on-chip booster generates VCOM, Gate (VGH/VGL), and
Source (VSH1/VSH2/VSL) driving voltages internally, reducing
external circuit complexity and optimizing power efficiency. It
also supports low-voltage detection (LVD) to monitor battery status
(VCC: 2.4~3.6V) and high-voltage ready detection to prevent
abnormal operation due to insufficient driving voltages, ensuring
stable performance in power-fluctuating environments.
The YE0437A08 features excellent environmental adaptability:
operating at 0~40℃ (45~70%RH) and withstanding
transportation/storage temperatures of -25~60℃ (max 10 days above
40℃). It has passed rigorous reliability tests, including 240-hour
high-temperature (40℃) and low-temperature (0℃) operation, 50
temperature cycles (-25℃~60℃), 168-hour high-temperature
high-humidity (40℃, 90%RH) operation, and ESD testing (contact
±2KV/air ±8KV)—ensuring no functional failures or appearance
defects. The hard-coat screen is scratch-resistant and
fingerprint-resistant, while ROHS2.0+HF+REACH compliance meets
global environmental standards, making it suitable for
international markets. With a designed service life of 5 years
(under normal use: 25℃/60%RH, updated once daily), it meets
long-term use requirements in industrial, retail, and logistics
fields.
The module supports 3-wire/4-wire SPI interfaces (selectable via
the BS pin) and I2C for internal/external temperature sensors,
compatible with most microcontrollers, PLCs, and embedded
systems—no complex driver development required. The IST7163CA1-C
driver IC ensures stable signal processing and display control,
while on-chip OTP stores waveform data, reducing external memory
requirements. It includes an internal temperature sensor (with I2C
master interface for external sensors) for real-time temperature
monitoring and waveform adjustment, ensuring stable performance
under temperature fluctuations. The 24-pin connector and
easy-to-tear sticker design ensure secure and convenient
installation, while support for landscape/portrait modes adapts to
different device layouts. Additionally, it offers customizations
like FPC length, cover glass processing, and waveform parameters to
meet specific application needs.
