Small transparent OLED module with expansion board, light blue pixels on clear glass

WaveShare

WaveShare 1.51 inch Transparent OLED Display Light Blue

SKU CH-1XRV-HBXPD

Transparent 1.51 inch OLED shows 128 x 64 light blue pixels and includes an expansion board with SPI and I2C interfaces for Raspberry Pi, Arduino and STM32

  • CPU TypeOther
  • Transparent 1.51 inch OLED shows data clearly
  • 128 x 64 resolution renders sharp graphics
  • SPI and I2C interfaces simplify MCU connection
  • SSD1309 driver chip handles display timing
  • 3 V or 5 V supply fits common boards

Transparent OLED for Embedded Projects

The WaveShare 1.51 inch transparent OLED module combines a see-through light-blue panel with an expansion board that plugs directly into Raspberry Pi, Arduino or STM32 platforms. Its embedded SSD1309 driver handles both 4-wire SPI and I2C communication, selectable by soldering two resistors on the back. The display active area measures 35.05 x 15.32 mm at 128 x 64 resolution with a 0.254 mm pixel pitch. Operating voltage is 5 V or 3.3 V and the board outline is 41 x 22.5 mm.

Dual-Interface Expansion Board

The bundled expansion board adds level-shifted SPI and I2C headers so the same module works with 5 V and 3.3 V logic without extra wiring. Resistor pads on the rear let developers switch between the two protocols during assembly, reducing breadboard clutter. Online documentation and example code are hosted at waveshare.com/wiki/1.51inch_Transparent_OLED for rapid integration.

Suited for See-Through UI Prototypes

Makers building transparent heads-up displays, wearable data overlays or augmented-reality experiments will benefit from the full viewing angle and compact 41 x 22.5 mm footprint. Projects that need colour graphics, higher pixel density or touch input should consider alternative modules because this panel is monochrome light blue and non-touch.

Questions about this item

Will the SSD1309 driver chip need replacement after extended use?

The SSD1309 driver chip is embedded on the module and designed for the display's lifetime; no user replacement is expected.

What limits continuous operation at full 128 x 64 resolution?

Sustained full-brightness use on the 1.51 inch transparent OLED will hit organic pixel aging first, gradually reducing light-blue luminance over time.

How much heat or noise does the board produce when running all day?

The 41 x 22.5 mm expansion board draws minimal current at 3.3 V or 5 V, runs silently with no fan, and stays barely warm to the touch.
