A crisp, bright 1.12" OLED that's ideal for adding a small display to your project. This 128x128 pixel, monochrome white/black display is ideal for graphing, readouts, and displaying basic icons. Now available in SPI or I2C flavours!
OLEDs have the advantage of being extremely bright and readable, with great contrast. Because this one is small, it's great for fitting into projects where space is at a premium, and it's Raspberry Pi and Arduino-compatible!
On the I2C version, we've included a trace that can be cut to change the I2C address from 0x3C to 0x3D, if you want to use two I2C OLEDs at once!
It's also compatible with our fancy Breakout Garden, where using breakouts is as easy just popping it into one of the slots and starting to grow your project, create, and code.
Our 1.12" OLED breakout is now available in SPI or I2C versions. If you have SPI available on your microcontroller, we'd recommend the SPI version, as you can drive it much, much faster, for buttery-smooth animations.
Features
- 1.12" white/black OLED display (128x128 pixels)
- Uses the SH1107 driver chip
- 20x20mm active area
- SPI or I2C (address 0x3C/0x3D (cut trace)) interface
- 3.3V or 5V compatible
- Reverse polarity protection
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi computers (Python library)
- Compatible with Arduino
- Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico/RP2040/RP2350* (C++/MicroPython libraries)
Kit includes
- 1.12" OLED display breakout
- 1x5 (I2C) or 1x7 (SPI) pinheader
- 1x5 right-angle socket header (only included with I2C version)
With the I2C version, you can solder on the piece of right-angle socket header and pop it straight onto the bottom left 5 pins on your Raspberry Pi's GPIO header (pins 1, 3, 5, 7, 9).
With the SPI version, pop it into either one of the SPI sockets on Breakout Garden, or connect it with wires to the following pins on your Pi (note that it's BCM pin numbering):
- 3-5V to any 5V or 3V pin
- CS to BCM 7
- SCK to BCM 11
- MOSI to BCM 10
- DC to BCM 9
- GND to any ground pin
Software
If you're using a Raspberry Pi computer, we recommend using the Luma Python library to drive this display:
You can use the I2C version of this breakout with Raspberry Pi Pico and compatible microcontrollers using C++ or our custom MicroPython.

* Note that the SPI breakout is not yet supported in pimoroni-pico, but you could try one of these alternative drivers:
- MicroPython SH1107 display driver for 128x128 and 128x64 pixel displays
- CircuitPython DisplayIO driver for SH1107 monochrome displays
