A 1.5-inch OLED display module with 128×128 pixel resolution and 16-level greyscale, driven by the SSD1327 controller. Communicates via SPI or I2C interface (selectable via onboard resistor), and operates at both 3.3V and 5V logic levels.
With a wide viewing angle of over 160° and true OLED contrast, this module is well-suited for embedded dashboards, status displays, and wearable projects. Waveshare provides example code for Raspberry Pi, Jetson Nano, Arduino, and STM32.

Jargon buster
Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.
- 3.3V and 5V logic levels
- Logic level refers to the voltage a board uses to represent digital on and off signals. Support for both 3.3V and 5V logic means this breakout can connect more easily to common microcontrollers and single-board computers without extra level-shifting hardware.
- I2C
- I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
- OLED
- OLED stands for organic light-emitting diode, a display type where each pixel produces its own light. It matters because OLED screens are thin, high-contrast and easy to read for small status displays, but they can be more sensitive to image burn-in than some other display types.
- SPI
- A fast serial communication bus often used for displays, memory cards, and sensors. It matters because SPI devices need specific pins for clock and data, plus a separate chip-select line for each device.
- STM32
- STM32 is a family of microcontroller chips commonly used in embedded electronics. Knowing a product uses an STM32 can help when looking at firmware updates, pin connections, or low-level serial control options.
