Description
This is an OLED monochrome 128×64 dot matrix display module with SPI Interface. Comparing to LCD, OLED screens are way more competitive, which has a number of advantages such as high brightness, self-emission, high contrast ratio, wide viewing angle, wide temperature range, and low power consumption. It is compatible with Arduino. It is easy to use with the help of the SH1106_SPI library for Arduino.

Getting started with the 1.3 Inch OLED White Color 128X64
This article shows how to use the SSD1306 1.3 inch I2C OLED display with the Arduino. We’ll show you some features of the OLED display, how to connect it to the Arduino board, and how to write text “HELLO WORD”
Step1: Hardware required
Step2: Connecting the Hardware
Wiring the OLED display to your Arduino is pretty straightforward:
| Pin | Wiring to Arduino Uno |
| VCC | 5V |
| GND | GND |
| SCK | A5 |
| SDA | A4 |
Step3: Setting up the library
To control the OLED display you’ll need the “U8glib” library. install the library by extracting that zipped file in the library folder as shown below
Step4: Upload the sample sketch
open the sample sketch that is located in file>examples>U8glib>hello word. and upload it. as shown below
uncoment this line before to upload
Step5: Testing the circuit
After uploading the code, this is what you’ll get in your OLED:
