November 2010 Page 5
MAIN FEATURES
The CFA910 module is a convenient and very economical way for developers to work with an E Ink module (Vizplex E
Ink display plus SBC (Single Board Computer) Main Board Crystalfontz CFA10022) running Linux OS. The display is an
E Ink Holding Corporation's Electrophoretic Display (EPD), also known as e-paper. The compact module uses a powerful
Atmel AT91SAM9G45 ARM microprocessor. The firmware is completely customizable. You can build your own
application for the CFA910 module using open source software. The CFA910 module is intended for users familiar with
developing for the Linux operating system on an ARM platform.
Features include:
6" diagonal Vizplex E Ink display, high resolution (800 x 600 pixels) with high contrast 4-bit grayscale (16 shades of
gray). The display can be used in landscape or portrait mode. The display has an antiglare hard-coated front sur-
face.
Display Active Area is 122.40 (W) x 90.60 (H) mm (4.82" (W) x 3.7 (H)" inches).
An optional touchscreen is available at the time of purchase for a very low price.
For development and debugging, you can buy the optional MISC-CFA10032 Expansion Board.
Overall size of the CFA910 module (E Ink display and Main Board Crystalfontz CFA10022):
Without touchscreen, nominal 137.90 mm wide x 105.10 mm high x 15.53 mm depth (5.43" wide x 4.14" x 0.61"
depth).
With touchscreen, nominal 137.90 mm wide x 105.10 mm high x 16.53 mm depth (5.43" wide x 4.14" x 0.65"
depth).
QUICK START DEMOS
The CFA910 module is preprogrammed with two demonstration programs. Simply plug the power supply
(included) into an AC outlet. The CFA910 will initialize and turn on the Vizplex E Ink display.
If your module does not have the optional touchscreen, plug in a USB keyboard to the USB host port on the
Main Board (Crystalfontz CFA10022).
If your module has the optional touchscreen, you will be prompted to calibrate the touchscreen by touching
a series of five crosshair symbols. In addition, you may plug in a USB keyboard.
Several icons will be displayed. To see the demonstrations, select the Demos icon.
The Demos folder contains two demonstration applications: PDF Demo and Slideshow.
1. Click/tap the PDF Demo icon to display an example of a Data Sheet for one of our LCD graphic modules.
2. Click/tap the Slideshow icon to display a series of images. To exit the Slideshow, push the middle switch
(SW1) on the top edge of the Main Board or press the ESC.
To exit either application, click/tap the X in the upper right corner of the application’s title bar or press
CTRL+q.
To safely power down the module, click/tap the Other icon to open it, then click/tap on the Power-off icon.
The splashscreen, which can be configured by the user, will remain displayed until the CFA910 is turned on
again.

Available interfaces are I2C, Logic Level Serial, RS232, SPI, and USB.
Very low power: using E Ink technology and hardware suspend features, you can program the module to use very
little power compared to traditional displays (including TFT and OLED modules).
Epson Broadsheet EPD Display Controller.
CFA910 MODULE PACKAGE CONTENTS
The basic CFA910 module package contents are:
CFA910 module, which is a Vizplex E Ink Display mounted on an SBC (Single Board Computer) Main Board (Crys-
talfontz CFA10022).
5 volt DC Adapter
Six foot USB Cable (A to Micro B)
MicroSD Card
VIZPLEX E INK DISPLAY
High Resolution Active Matrix Displays made with E Ink's Vizplex Imaging Film have a number of distinctive benefits over
existing technologies. Commonly referred to as Electronic Paper Displays, EPD displays are reflective and can be easily
read in bright sunlight or dimly lit environments while being able to be seen at virtually any angle - an experience that is
just like paper.
The black and white ink-on-paper look, combined with a resolution in excess of most competitive display technologies,
EPDs give the display an appearance similar to that of the most widely read material on the planet - newspaper. Because
the display uses power only when an image is changed, E Ink displays have extended battery life over other types of
displays. The unique technology also results in a compact and lightweight form factor making it ideal for highly portable
applications. — from E Ink Corporation, http://www.eink.com/products/matrix/High_Res.html on 2010-11-02

OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES
TOUCHSCREEN
The resistive 4-wire touchscreen must be ordered at the time of the module. You may break the display if you try to add
a touchscreen later or remove the installed touchscreen. Attempting to modify the touchscreen will void the warranty.
As is true for all touchscreens, the touchscreen slightly increases glare and slightly decreases clarity of the display.
