flexible_grayscale_oled's Introduction

SparkFun Flexible Grayscale OLED Display Breakout Board

SparkFun Flexible Grayscale Carrier Board

SparkFun Flexible Grayscale Display - 1.81" (LCD-14606)

This is a small flexible, grayscale OLED display. That’s right, we said flexible. We’ve been hearing about flexible displays for years, it’s finally here! You can’t fold it like paper but this OLED from Wisechip can be bent to a 40mm radius without damage. The display is than 0.5mm thick, less than 0.5 grams, and can display some impressive graphics with great contrast.

The carrier board generates the 12V required to drive the OLED display. The carrier board also has a signal buffer so that you can drive the display from any 3.3V or 5V microcontroller. However, because of the nature of the TXB0104 you must power the board with 3.5V or more. Your microcontroller can be 3.3V or 5V but we recommend you power the carrier board with 5V.

flexible_grayscale_oled's Issues

Extra white line on connector FP

image

What's the white line for? Pin 1 indicator? The part is asymmetric and can't be mounted the wrong way (ok, it can...) so the silk is extraneous. Also, the swing bar is on the opposite side as this line. I think I'm ok with the white line (might help users see where to insert ribbon if it comes out) but it will confuse Pick and Place ops. I recommend you add significant tDocu lines/text indicating where the swing bar is (near the SOIC).

New display: Almost nothing visible

New display arrived from Digikey....

Hooked up with Arduino Uno....only the right most vertical line is brighter...
the rest is extremely dark and isn't visible in daylight.

I assume those OLEDs don't last very long...

So stay away if you still consider buying this thing.....pretty expensive for a almost-DOA product..

Double Check v01

  1. Do V-Scored edges have a 50 mil border free of pads and parts (to prevent cracking on separation)? [NO]
    comment: I am concerned about how close some of these parts are to the edge, but I see the desire to keep the PCB the same thickness as the screen. I'll keep an eye on this particular issue when we review for REDS. Adam Silva did also mention that he saw no problem with it.

  2. In bDOCU there is an image of the OLED over top the PCB. It would be helpful to have that image attached to the flat flex cable in tDOCU (also moved to the same layer, engineer's discretion as to which) to give an accurate representation of the screen. Marshall did something like this for his OLED display (see image).
