4.1 E-Paper Display Characteristics

The 4.7-inch E-Paper display has specific characteristics:

• Due to the flexible nature of the screen, small bubbles may be present in the corners during fitting. This is a normal manufacturing characteristic.
• This version of the E-Paper screen may exhibit a slight yellowish tint.
• Partial refresh of the screen for extended periods can result in residual images (ghosting).
