zeke 693 Posted March 24, 2011 Share Posted March 24, 2011 Hey Guys, Take a look at this OLED screen. The cool thing is that it has an SPI interface. But tell me, at $6.95, don't you think that this is too good to be true? For comparison, CrystalFontz sells this one for $21 each. What am I missing? Is OLED bad in some way?

bluehash 1,581 Posted March 25, 2011 Share Posted March 25, 2011 Normally it's the breakout board that costs alot. but Crystalfontz does not come with any breakout board. I purchased a cheap one on ebay. $20 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TheDirty 33 Posted March 28, 2011 Share Posted March 28, 2011 I bought a couple of these to experiment with after seeing this project: http://rossum.posterous.com/teeny-avr-m ... anotouch-0 Never did get around to making up a board for them though. The low price is offset by the DC converter needed, or to use the on board DC converter, you need a handful of passives for it, plus the FPC cable. I don't know of any connectors that work with FPC pads, so you have to solder it to a board, which I haven't tried yet, but it doesn't look like a beginner project. EDIT: You might want to check out that guys main page. He has a few articles on LCD options. http://rossum.posterous.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
