# Soldered Electronics (/integration/boards/manufacturers/soldered)



[Soldered](https://soldered.com/) designs and manufactures a wide selection of electronic products to help you
turn your ideas into acts and bring you one step closer to your final project. Their products are intended for makers
and crafted in-house by their experienced team in Osijek, Croatia. They believe that sharing is a crucial element for
improvement and innovation, and work hard to stay connected with all their makers regardless of their skill or
experience level. Therefore, all their products are open-source. Finally, they always have your back. If you face any
problem concerning either your shopping experience or your electronics project, their team will help you deal with it,
offering efficient customer service and cost-free technical support anytime.

Of particular interest to LVGL users is Soldered's flagship [Inkplate](https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate/) lineup.
Inkplates are ESP32-based e-paper boards ranging from small monochrome panels to large color displays. Their boards
are also designed with low-power use in mind, allowing them to run for weeks or months on battery. Soldered maintains
two official LVGL libraries:
[Arduino Inkplate LVGL Library](https://github.com/SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-LVGL-Library) and
[ESP-IDF Inkplate LVGL Component](https://github.com/SolderedElectronics/Inkplate-LVGL-ESP-IDF-component).

Inkplate LVGL Libraries [#inkplate-lvgl-libraries]

Both libraries handle LVGL initialization internally and support both RGB565 and grayscale (L8) color formats depending
on the board's display technology. A single `begin()` call handles all LVGL setup, including built-in dithering for
smoother grayscale/color rendering and SD-card-backed file access for images and fonts.

Supported boards:

* [Inkplate 2](https://soldered.com/products/inkplate-2)
* [Inkplate 4TEMPERA](https://soldered.com/products/inkplate-4tempera)
* [Inkplate 5V2](https://soldered.com/products/inkplate-5-gen2)
* [Inkplate 6](https://soldered.com/products/inkplate-6)
* [Inkplate 6FLICK](https://soldered.com/products/inkplate-6flick)
* [Inkplate 6COLOR](https://soldered.com/products/inkplate-6color)
* [Inkplate 10](https://soldered.com/products/inkplate-10)
* [Inkplate 13SPECTRA](https://soldered.com/products/inkplate-13spectra)

To see it in action, check out [docs](https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate/lvgl-library/) or examples under the
respective libraries, e.g.,

Getting Started [#getting-started]

Follow the [Inkplate LVGL Library setup guide](https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate/lvgl-library/) for step-by-step
installation instructions, board setup, and a Hello World example to get LVGL running on your Inkplate.

Inkplate 13SPECTRA [#inkplate-13spectra]

[Inkplate 13SPECTRA](https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate/13spectra/overview/) is Soldered's latest and most advanced
board. It has a beautiful 13.3-inch 6-color e-paper screen with a resolution of 1600x1200 pixels and features a
powerful ESP32-S3 microcontroller.

Inkplate 6FLICK [#inkplate-6flick]

[Inkplate 6FLICK](https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate/6flick/overview/) features a touchscreen and frontlight,
enabling users to make their own e-reader device.

Inkplate 4TEMPERA [#inkplate-4tempera]

[Inkplate 4TEMPERA](https://docs.soldered.com/inkplate/4tempera/overview/) is a compact, all-in-one 3.8-inch
touchscreen e-paper device for low-power, always-on display applications with a built-in Li-Ion battery, frontlighting,
and a set of onboard sensors, all inside a 3D-printed case.
