Overview

The NHD-1.5-128128UGC3 is a 1.5-inch color graphic OLED module offering a 128x128 resolution with a high-contrast passive matrix. It features a versatile interface supporting both 8-bit parallel and 3/4-wire SPI protocols, allowing for flexible integration with various microcontrollers. Designed for 3.3V operation, this module provides rich RGB color output without the need for a backlight.

Why Choose This Part

The self-emissive OLED technology provides a high contrast ratio and extremely wide viewing angles compared to standard LCDs. Its multi-interface support allows engineers to trade off between pin count and communication speed using SPI or 8080/6800 parallel modes. With a logic supply range of 2.4V to 3.5V, it integrates easily into modern low-voltage digital systems.

Applications

Handheld Instrumentation
Ideal for portable diagnostic tools requiring high-contrast UI elements and low power consumption in small form factors.
Industrial Control Panels
Used as a status display in industrial environments where wide operating temperatures (-40C to +70C) and wide viewing angles are critical.
High-End Wearables
Suitable for premium wearable devices that benefit from the thin profile of OLED technology and vivid color representation.
Audio Visual Equipment
Serves as a front-panel interface for rack-mounted audio gear, providing clear visibility of levels and settings.
