When you need low power, ultra-high contrast and any-angle readability, you can't beat these great looking character OLEDs. They are pin/shape compatible with 'standard' HD44780 LCDs. The code is slightly different (they're more timing sensitive) so we have our own Arduino library that plays better with the OLEDs than the standard LiquidCrystal library. Best of all, no backlight or contrast control is required, so they're even simpler to get running.

This OLED is not compatible with any of our LCD shields or backpacks!

• 16 characters wide, 2 rows
• Bright blue OLED text on black background
• Connection port is 0.1" pitch, single row for easy breadboarding and wiring
• Pins are documented on the back of the LCD to assist in wiring it up
• No backlight! Each pixel is an individual LED
• Can be fully controlled with only 7 digital lines! (Any analog/digital pins can be used)
• Built in default character set supports English/Japanese text. Can also be set to use Western European and Russian, see the WS0010 datasheet for the full character sets
• Up to 8 extra characters can be created for custom glyphs or 'foreign' language support
