128×64 0.96″ OLED I2C IIC Serial LCD LED Display Module – White

128×64 0.96″ OLED I2C IIC Serial LCD LED Display Module – White is a compact and highly versatile display solution that brings superior visual quality to your embedded projects. This module features Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) technology, which allows it to produce brilliant, high-contrast white pixels without requiring a backlight. Consequently, this results in extremely low power consumption and faster response times compared to traditional LCD screens. Furthermore, the integrated controller (typically an SSD1306) and the simple I2C (or IIC) serial interface enable microcontrollers like Arduino and ESP32 to effortlessly drive the 128×64 resolution, significantly minimizing wiring complexity and code overhead. Therefore, developers choose this 0.96-inch OLED for portable devices and battery-powered applications where both visual clarity and efficiency are critical design factors.

Key Features:

• High Contrast Ratio: OLED technology provides perfect black levels and an extremely high contrast ratio, ensuring excellent readability even in bright ambient light.
• Ultra-Low Power Consumption: Since it generates its own light, the display requires no backlight, drastically reducing the overall current draw, especially when displaying darker content.
• Simple I2C/IIC Interface: This module utilizes the two-wire I2C communication protocol, which requires only four pins (VCC, GND, SCL, SDA) for operation, simplifying integration.
• Wide Viewing Angle: The self-illuminating pixels offer a nearly 180° viewing angle without brightness or color degradation.
• Fast Response Time: OLED pixels turn on and off much quicker than LCDs, providing smooth scrolling and animation capabilities.
