How to Interface OLED Display With Arduino Uno - Technoesolution
Description
Hello, in this article I will show you how to interface OLED display with Arduino Uno in a simple manner. There are many types of OLED displays available in the market but in this article, I will explain to you how to interface 128 X 64-pixel OLED display with Arduino in a few steps.
As we know led means Light-emitting diode but OLED stands for Organic light-emitting diode. This display system is very famous in the 21st century. We can see this display in smartphone television sets. tablets, laptops, and computers display this display provides high contrast, deep black & rich colors. But in this project, we use a White OLED display to interface with Arduino UNO.
I have already made a tutorial on how to interface OLED display with Arduino and you can refer to my YouTube channel for this tutorial video.
Watch out for the video If reading bores you.

OLED Display Features:-
The model we are using has only 4-pins to connect with Arduino, It's a mono-color OLED Display. With a very compact size of 0.96 inches. It's a 128 * 64 Dot matrix display. As shown in the following image.
- No need for a backlight
- Ultra-wide viewing angle
- 128 x 64 High Resolution
- Low Power Consumption Display (0.06W - 0.08W)
- Compatible With Arduino
- I2C Interface
- SSD1306 OLED Driver IC
- Input voltage from 3.3V - 6V DC
- 0.96 inch Very compact size
OLED Display Pinouts:-
We are using a 4-Pin OLED display, which we will interface with Arduino Uno for the I2C communication protocol.
- GND:- To connect with GND of power Supply
- VCC:- To connect with +Ve pin of power supply
- SCL:- For the I2C interface (A5)
- SDA:- For the I2C interface (A4)
Material Required:-
[I provide the best buy link for components, The following links are Affiliated links if you buy from there then we will get some bonus from them.]
Circuit Diagram:-
Refer above circuit diagram to make proper connections.
- GND - GND
- +5V - VCC
- A4 - SDA
- A5 - SCL
OLED Library:-
To perform this experiment we need to add the following libraries to your Arduino IDE software. I provide the download link for the libraries, download the following libraries & follow the steps to add these libraries in Arduino IDE.
- Adafruit_SSD1306.h:- (Download Library Here)
- Adafruit_GFX.h:- (Download Library Here)
1. Open Arduino IDE:-
2. Click On Sketch - Include Library - Add Zip. file
3. Select the above two recently downloaded library files.
Arduino Code:-
