Notes and version constraints
- Correct resistor selection depends on the exact panel model; please consult the product page for each panel.
- Prolonged power-on can cause afterimages; after each full refresh, put the screen to sleep mode or power it off.
- Update tri-color e-paper screens at least every 24 hours to avoid burn-in.
- Partial refresh is supported only by certain black-and-white panels; periodically perform a full refresh to remove residual images.
