0.96in OLED Display – 128x64 I2C/SPI for Arduino, Raspberry Pi
0.96in OLED
The 0.96 inch OLED is a compact, self-illuminating monochrome display capable of 128×64 pixel graphics. It uses the SSD1306 driver IC over I2C or SPI, making it ideal for compact electronics where space and power are tight. Crisp, high-contrast text and shapes are visible from wide angles without backlight.

Compatibility
Directly compatible with Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega (3.3V or 5V logic via I2C), ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi Pico. On Raspberry Pi single-board computers, use the I2C interface with 3.3V logic. Most modules include a voltage regulator and level shifting, so no external components are needed for 5V MCUs.
Wiring Notes
For I2C mode, connect VCC to 3.3V/5V, GND to ground, SCL to clock pin (A5 on Uno, GPIO22 on ESP32), and SDA to data pin (A4 on Uno, GPIO21 on ESP32). The display draws less than 20mA; no backlight is required as each pixel emits its own light.
Why Buy from Compoden
Every component is sourced from verified suppliers and tested for compatibility before listing. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. Ships from Bengaluru in 3-5 days. If defective on arrival, replace within 7 days.
Is this compatible with Arduino and Raspberry Pi?
Yes. The module works over I2C with both Arduino (Uno, Nano, Mega) and Raspberry Pi. For Arduino, use the Adafruit SSD1306 library. For Pi, enable I2C in raspi-config. The onboard regulator handles 3.3V and 5V logic safely.
What is the I2C address?
The default I2C address is 0x3C. Some modules may have a solder jumper to change it to 0x3D. You can verify using an I2C scanner sketch if you have multiple devices.
How much power does it consume?
At 3.3V with all pixels lit, it draws about 20mA. In typical text/graphics use, current is lower, making it excellent for battery-operated projects.
