Description
The 1.3 inch OLED white display 128×64 I2C module is a compact, high-contrast screen powered by the SH1106 driver. It offers clear white text and graphics and works with popular microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP8266, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi.
Unlike LCDs, OLEDs are self-emitting and do not require a backlight, resulting in higher contrast, wider viewing angles, and lower power consumption—making it ideal for battery-powered projects.
This module commonly uses the SH1106 driver (SSD1306-compatible), which is supported by several open-source display libraries like U8g2, U8glib, and Adafruit_SSD1306.

Setting up the library
To control our OLED display with an Arduino, we will need “U8glib”/“U8g2″ library or “Adafruit SH110X” library. Follow this link to see how to install any of them.
Example Code Using U8g2 Library (Recommended for SH1106)
Uncomment this line if you are using U8glib library example.
U8GLIB_SH1106_128X64 u8g(U8G_I2C_OPT_NONE); // I2C / TWI
Arduino Example Using Adafruit_SH110X (for SH1106)
Applications
- IoT dashboards & sensor readouts
- Battery-powered displays & wearables
- Real-time clocks & timers
- Portable meters & audio meters
- Retro-style game screens
