Gorillacell Module 007: 0.96 OLED

Table of Contents

OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode. An OLED display is self-illuminated, meaning it does not require a backlight since each pixel emits its own light. This results in better contrast, thinner design, and lower power consumption compared to traditional LCDs.

The Gorillacell ESP32 Development Kit comes with one (1) piece of 0.96-inch OLED display module. It features a 128×64 pixel resolution and is monochrome, capable of displaying a single color. The display is driven by an SSD1306 driver chip, which simplifies wiring and provides I²C communication for easy interfacing.
