Overview

The NHD-1.5-128128ASC3 is a 1.5-inch full-color OLED module offering a 128x128 pixel resolution and an integrated SSD1351 controller. As a passive matrix OLED (PMOLED), it provides high-contrast visuals and vibrant RGB colors without the need for a backlight, making it suitable for compact, low-profile designs. It operates on a 3V to 5.5V supply and communicates via a standard 3-wire or 4-wire SPI interface.

Why Choose This Part

This module features an integrated SSD1351 controller which simplifies software development by handling color mapping and drawing functions via SPI. The self-emissive OLED technology ensures a slim COF (Chip-on-Film) package profile and a high contrast ratio compared to traditional TFT-LCDs. It is designed for robustness with a wide operating temperature range and flexibility in power supply, supporting inputs up to 5.5V.

Applications

Wearable Technology
High-contrast user interface for fitness trackers or smartwatches requiring sunlight readability and deep black levels.
Industrial Instrumentation
Visual status displays for handheld diagnostic tools and control panels operating in temperatures ranging from -30C to 70C.
Portable Medical Devices
Compact, energy-efficient color screen for battery-powered monitoring equipment utilizing the 2uA sleep mode.
IoT Smart Home Hubs
Visual feedback interface for smart thermostats or security keypads where high-angle visibility is critical.
