The Adafruit 2.23" Monochrome OLED Bonnet gives your Raspberry Pi a bright, high-contrast display that's easy to read from across the room. Simply plug this pre-assembled bonnet onto any Pi with a 2×20 header and start displaying sharp white text, graphics, and animations at up to 30 FPS.

With 128×32 individual white OLED pixels driven by the SSD1305 chipset, this display produces its own light — no backlight needed. The bonnet communicates over I2C (plus GPIO #4 for reset), leaving plenty of GPIO pins free for buttons, LEDs, and sensors. A STEMMA QT / Qwiic connector on the underside provides easy I2C expansion.
