Inkplate 6 refresh time and enclosure dimensions

TECHNICAL SUPPORT Inkplate

Customer:

Inkplate 6 is advertised as having a 264ms refresh time, however on both Inkplate 6+ & 10 crowdsupply pages, in the comparison table, Inkplate 6 is described as having a 1.26s refresh time, which is a huge difference compared to the 264ms mentioned elsewhere and in the Inkplate 6 crowdsupply page. What is the correct value for the full refresh time of Inkplate 6 screen?

Also, what are the dimensions of the Inkplate 6 enclosure? The ones on the product page seem to refer to the Inkplate itself but I would be interested in the full dimensions including the cover.

There is a difference between partial update and full-screen update, that is the difference in refresh times. The 264ms is for partial refresh and 1.26s is for a full refresh. These numbers might be a little inaccurate since we update the screen driving algorithm all the time, but it is approximately correct.
