These displays are small, only about 1in diagonal, but very readable due to the high contrast of an OLED display. This display is made of 96x64 individual OLED pixels, each one is turned on or off by the controller chip. The pixels can display any of 65,536 (16-bit) color beautifully. Because the display makes its own light, no backlight is required. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such high contrast; we really like this miniature display for its crispness!
This breakout can be used with a standard 3-wire SPI (Data, Clock, Chip Select) interface. The design is completely 5V-ready, with an onboard regulator and built in boost converter. It's easier than ever to connect directly to your 3.3V or 5V microcontroller or single board computer!
