Device database

Every display FrameOS can drive - 120+ e-ink, LCD and HDMI displays with specs, colors, resolution and setup notes.

FrameOS ships with 120+ display drivers, selectable when you add a frame in the backend. Native drivers compiled into the frame binary cover most e-ink panels by Waveshare and Pimoroni, three generic drivers cover everything with a video output, and all-in-one microcontroller boards get their own entries - every display below has its own page with full specs and setup instructions.

How the drivers work

E-ink panels are driven over SPI by drivers compiled directly into the FrameOS binary - no Python, no runtime libraries. Each Waveshare panel is one C driver (the vendor's, or a FrameOS fork of it) that is bound into the Pi binary and linked into the ESP32 firmware alike, so both targets behave the same. FrameOS renders your scene, dithers it to the panel's exact ink palette, and pushes the result to the display.
HDMI / Framebuffer renders straight to the Pi's video output - TVs, monitors, any HDMI panel. On a Pi 5 it pushes 60 frames per second.
Web only runs a frame with no physical display: view it in the browser, perfect for trying FrameOS or kiosk setups.
HTTP upload POSTs each rendered image to a URL of your choosing - drive displays FrameOS has never heard of.
Older or unusual Pimoroni Inky boards fall back to a Python driver that auto-detects the panel.
Panels marked ESP32 also work without a Raspberry Pi, driven by the FrameOS ESP32 firmware: that's every Waveshare-family SPI e-paper panel except the 10.3" IT8951 and the 12.48" family. Every supported driver is compiled into one firmware image and the panel is picked at runtime, so switching panels needs no rebuild.
All-in-one boards - a panel with a microcontroller already attached - have their own pages naming the hardware preset to choose: the Waveshare PhotoPainter and 13.3E6, the Seeed reTerminals (up to the 13.3" E1004), the TRMNL, the XTEINK X4, the Elecrow CrowPanel and the Pimoroni Inky Frames.

Picking a panel

New to e-ink? Start with the Waveshare buying guide, or jump straight to a crowd favourite: the Pimoroni Inky Impression 7.3" for plug-and-play color, or the Waveshare 13.3" Spectra 6 for a big, vivid art frame.

Spectra 6 or ACeP? Both are color e-ink, but they look different side by side. Spectra 6 (E6) is brighter with more saturated colors and a whiter white; the older 7-color ACeP panels have a softer, slightly purple cast and a longer refresh. Same image, Spectra 6 on the left, ACeP on the right:

Your panel is missing?

Displays not in this database: open an issue, or try the closest driver - controller boards are often shared between panels.
