16x2 SPI OLED With Blue Characters

Part Number: CFAL1602C-PB

SPI Interface Popular With Hobbyists

The OLED technology of the blue-on-black CFAL1602C-PB provides a striking, high contrast visual appearance that stays consistent from -40°C to 80°C (-40°F to 176°F). Since OLEDs are emissive, there is no backlight, resulting in a thinner package that is ideal when you need a reliable 16x2 character display and space is at a premium. The modern look of the CFAL1602C-PB OLED display provides a very wide 160° viewing angle, keeping the same crisp view from nearly any direction.

The command set of the built-in WS0010 controller is similar to the industry standard Hitachi HD44780 and compatibles, reducing the adoption time of the CFAL1602C-PB into your project. With four built-in font tables, multi-language support is a easy.

Do you want to change the look of your existing product that uses our STN LCD CFAH1602C? The CFAL1602C-B has the same physical footprint.
