SSD1306 128×64 Mono 0.96” OLED Display is a single-chip CMOS OLED/PLED driver with a controller for organic / polymer light emitting diode dot-matrix graphic display system. It consists of 128 segments and 64 commons. This IC is designed for a Common Cathode type OLED panel.
The SSD1306 embeds with contrast control, display RAM, and oscillator, which reduces the number of external components and power consumption. It has 256-step brightness control. Data/Commands are sent from general MCU through the hardware selectable 6800/8000 series compatible Parallel Interface, I2C interface, or Serial Peripheral Interface. It is suitable for many compact portable applications, such as mobile phone sub-display, MP3 player and calculator, etc.
