Product Picture

The YE037A58 excels in medium-to-large multi-color classification scenarios with its 129 DPI display and 4-color capability. It vividly presents multi-level information—red for promotions/urgent alerts, yellow for new arrivals/stock warnings, black for text/barcodes, and white for background—making it perfect for electronic shelf labels, logistics tags, and industrial terminals. Its pixel pitch (0.202×0.203mm) ensures sharp text and barcodes, even small fonts remain legible. The hard-coat antiglare surface eliminates glare under direct sunlight, maintaining readability in retail stores or outdoor kiosks. With an ultra-thin (0.90mm) and lightweight (8.5±0.5g) design, it fits into space-constrained devices like large smart labels, while ultra-low power consumption (≤3μA deep sleep) enables over 12 months of battery life for daily-updated applications.
The YE037A58 is mainly designed for Electronic Shelf Label (ESL) systems with diverse industry applications. In retail, it serves as large electronic shelf labels for home appliances, furniture, and groceries, using 4-color display to highlight promotions (red), new arrivals (yellow), product names/prices (black), and stock status (white background)—enhancing customer information access. Its low power consumption reduces retail maintenance costs. In logistics, it functions as cargo tags, displaying waybills, transportation statuses, and priority levels (red for urgent, yellow for regular), withstanding -25~60℃ transportation for 10 days. In industrial control, it acts as status monitors, indicating normal (white), fault (black), urgent (red), and maintenance alerts (yellow) for equipment. In smart retail, its compact size fits into large price tags or promotional displays, showing multi-dimensional product information. With ROHS2.0+HF+REACH compliance and rigorous reliability testing, it meets global environmental and reliability demands.
Core Advantages
The YE037A58 features 240×416 resolution (129 DPI) with 0.202×0.203mm pixels, delivering sharp text, barcodes, and 4-color graphics—ideal for multi-level information classification. Its color performance is precise: red state L*=25~28 (a*=38~40), yellow state L*=55~62 (b*=63~68), white state L*=63~65, black state L*=9~14. The high white reflectance (30~35%) and contrast ratio (10:1 typ.) ensure clear visibility in low light. The pure reflective mode saves power by eliminating backlighting, while the hard-coat antiglare surface reduces glare under direct sunlight. With an ultra-wide viewing angle, there’s no color deviation from any direction, supporting multi-person viewing for shared devices like electronic shelf labels.
Powered by bi-stable technology, the module only consumes power during updates (max 200mAs at 25℃) and draws ≤3μA in deep sleep. A standard lithium battery can power daily-updated devices for over 12 months, reducing replacement frequency. The on-chip booster generates VCOM, Gate (VGH/VGL), and Source (VDH/VDL/VDHR) voltages internally, simplifying external circuits and optimizing efficiency. Low-voltage detection (VDD: 2.4~3.6V) monitors battery status, while high-voltage ready detection prevents abnormal operation. The internal/external temperature sensor (I2C) enables real-time waveform adjustment, ensuring stability in 0~40℃ environments.
With an outline of 53×92.99×0.90mm and weight of 8.5±0.5g, the YE037A58 fits into medium-to-large devices like electronic shelf labels and industrial terminals. It passed rigorous reliability tests: 240-hour high/low-temperature storage (50℃/-25℃), 168-hour high-humidity operation (40℃, 90%RH), 100 temperature cycles (-25℃~60℃), vibration testing (1.04G, 20~200Hz), and ESD testing (±200V). The hard-coat screen resists scratches and fingerprints, while ROHS2.0+HF+REACH compliance meets global standards. Its 3-year design life (25℃/50%RH, daily updates) ensures long-term use. The flexible FPC (0.10±0.03mm) with stiffener simplifies installation in non-flat layouts.
The module supports 3-wire/4-wire SPI (selectable via BS pin) and I2C for temperature sensors, compatible with most MCUs and embedded systems—no complex drivers needed. Pins 6 (TSCL) and 7 (TSDA) must be grounded if external temperature sensors aren’t used (not NC). The 24-pin 0.5mm ZIF Socket enables quick, secure installation. Customizations include FPC layout/connector type, cover glass processing (logo/pattern printing), and OTP programming (waveform parameters), adapting to diverse application needs like electronic shelf labels and industrial monitors.
