OLED Screen With Arduino Uno Programming
OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diodes) is a flat light emitting technology, made by placing a series of organic thin films between two conductors.
When electrical current is applied, a bright light is emitted.
OLEDs are emissive display that do not require a backlight and so are thinner and more efficient than LCD displays (which do require a white backlight).
The OLED screen will be displaying our data.
This screen size is quite compact and the screen is impressively bright. The Adafruit OLED screen can be controlled using SPI or I2C interface, which can be adjusted at the back of the screen.
You can use a more affordable screen as well, but be careful which one you purchase as the screen needs to work with the header files we are going to use via Adafruit’s libraries.
OLED Screen With Arduino Connection
| OLED Pin | Arduino Connection |
| Vin | 5V Dc |
| Gnd | Ground |
| SCL | A5 |
| SDA | A4 |
It is a very small display made of 128 by 64 individual OLED pixels and no backlight is required. That OLED display is monochrome (white color), but there are other models with several colors.
This display uses I2C communication. This means that it communicates with the Arduino using just 2 pins.

OLED’s APPLICATIONS
OLEDs are used to create digital displays in devices such as television screens, computer monitors, portable systems such as mobile phones, digital media players, car radios, digital cameras, car lighting, handheld games consoles and PDAs.
Such portable applications favor the high light output of OLEDs for readability in sunlight and their low power drain. Intense research has yielded OLEDs with remarkable color fidelity, device efficiencies and operational stability.
According to the type of manufacture and the nature of their use, OLED’s.
1. Passive-matrix OLED (PMOLED).
2. Active-matrix OLED (AMOLED).
3. Transparent OLED.
4. Top-emitting OLED.
5. Foldable OLED.
OLED AND TEMPERATURE SENSOR WITH ARDUINO UNO CIRCUIT:
In this example you will display the temperature and humidity in the OLED display.
The aim of this project is to get familiar with the OLED display.
The temperature and humidity will be measured using the DHT11 temperature and humidity sensor.
If you’re not familiar with the DHT11 sensor we recommend that you check the DHT11/22 guide.
