ePaper Image Creation

1. Monochrome ePaper image, including black and white
2. Three-color ePaper images, including black, white, and red or yellow
3. Four-color ePaper image, including black, white, red, and yellow
4. Six-color ePaper images, including black, white, red, yellow, blue, and green

Windows Color Table
When creating ePaper images, you can refer to the color table provided by the Paint software that comes with the Windows system. You need to create an image with the same resolution as the ePaper and save the image in BMP or jpg format.

Note: Before the picture production and bitmap conversion for a three-color ePaper image needs to be split into two separate images: black-and-white and red-and-white, as shown in the image below:

An Introduction to ePaper Bitmap Conversion Software
ePaper bitmap conversion can be done using the Image2LCD software.
Download the software from the following link: (https://v4.cecdn.yun300.cn/100001_1909185148/image2|cd.zip).

After downloading and extracting the software, you will see three files. The file with the .exe format is the installation file, and the file with the .htm format contains the registration code.
