Bistable displays such as electrophoretic (E-Paper) displays, cholesteric liquid crystal displays (ChLCDs) and zenithal bistable displays (ZBDs) only need power to change the image, not to retain it. This page covers how they work, common driver ICs, manufacturers, and more. Also covered are memory-in-pixel displays, which remove the need to refresh the display (which lowers power consumption, but does not make it zero-power like true bistable displays).

LED matrix displays (a.k.a. LED dot matrix displays) are grids of LEDs used to show text, symbols and low-resolution images. This page covers how they work, multiplexed scanning, driver ICs such as the MAX7219 and HT16K33, addressable RGB matrices, and HUB75 panels.
