FrameOSDevices
Device database
Every display FrameOS can drive - 110+ e-ink, LCD and HDMI displays with specs, colors, resolution and setup notes.
FrameOS ships with 110+ display drivers, selectable when you add a frame in the backend. Native Nim drivers cover most e-ink panels by Waveshare and Pimoroni, three generic drivers cover everything with a video output - and every display below has its own page with full specs and setup instructions.
Showing 117 of 117 displays. Click a column to sort, click a row for full specs and setup.

How the drivers work
- E-ink panels are driven over SPI by drivers compiled directly into the FrameOS binary - no Python, no vendor libraries. 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-S3 firmware. ESP32 currently targets Waveshare SPI e-paper panels and headless builds; each firmware image contains one selected panel driver.
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.
Your panel is missing?
- Displays not in this database: open an issue, or try the closest driver - controller boards are often shared between panels.
- Tested a panel marked "should work"? Tell us, with a photo.
- Each device page is a markdown file in
content/docs/devices/, so corrections and additions are one pull request away.
