OLEDs are the future of displays, as they possess some of the greatest advantages over both conventional display technologies of LCDs and LED. This module offers 128×32 pixel resolution. It has IC SSD1306 Controller that communicates through the I2C serial interface. This module produces readable blue text on black background with very good contrast. The OLED display module also offers a very wide viewing angle. They are featuring much less thickness than LCD display with good brightness and also produce better and true colors.
The most attractive thing about using OLED displays is that they do not need a back-light like conventional LCD/LED screens. The organic material itself has a property known as Electroluminescence (EL), which causes the material to “glow” when stimulated by a current or an electric field. Best energy-saving displays ever!!
The OLED and driver require a 3.3V power supply and 3.3V logic levels for communication. The power requirements depend a little on how much of the display is lit but on average the display uses about 20mA from the 3.3V supply. This OLED Display Module is very compact and can be easily controlled by MCU such as 8051, PIC, AVR, ARDUINO, ARM, and Raspberry Pi. It can be used in any embedded systems, industrial device, etc.
Note: For full guides on how to use this OLED display, you can refer to this video from Z-HUT YouTube channel:
Pin Description:
- GND: Ground
- VCC: Power (DC 3.3V ~ 5V)
