Just 1/4th the size of an RPi, the SunFounder 0.9" OLED is an extension to make your projects easier. White-on-blue OLED display is made of 128x32 individual white OLED pixels, each of which is turned on or off by the controller chip - SSD1306 IC. A great way to display debug information and to visualize data without the need of a serial terminal.
The driver chip SSD1306 communicates via I2C, so only 6 pins are required to communicate with Raspberry Pi and you can insert the chip into in all versions of RPis. To make things super interesting, because the display makes its own light, you will not require any backlight. This reduces the power required to run the OLED and is why the display has such a high contrast.
Please note that OLED displays are made of hundreds of...OLEDs! That means each pixel is a little organic LED, and if it's kept on for over 1000 hours it'll start to dim. If you want to keep the display uniformly bright, please turn off the display (set the pixels off) when it isn't needed to keep them from dimming.
