What is the 0.96 Inch OLED Display?
The 0.96 inch OLED display is a compact 128×64 pixel screen widely used in Arduino, ESP32, NodeMCU, and Raspberry Pi projects. It uses an I2C interface, allowing you to connect it using only two wires (SDA & SCL). OLED pixels emit their own light, providing excellent brightness, clarity, and ultra-low power consumption.
Perfect for IoT dashboards, sensor displays, and compact embedded systems.
