EA OLED SERIES
With its EA OLED series ELECTRONIC ASSEMBLY launches worldwide the first display family with OLED-
technology for direct mounting and soldering. In comparison to standard displays there’s no FFC/FPC
cable/connector that may loose contact, this OLED series will be soldered directly or put into a standard 2.54
mm precision socket.
It is designed for compact handheld equipment and provides a lot real advantages:
- Extreme compact (68x51mm) with a large viewing area (64x37mm)
- Super flat with 2.4 mm (without frontal protection glass)
- SPI and I²C interface
- Simple mounting with direct soldering
- Ex stock available from 1 pc. off
- Long life time (80,000 h for yellow)
- Extreme wide temperature range (-40..+80°C)
- Fast response time (10µs), no afterglow

VERSIONS
The EA OLEDM204 is available in 3 different versions:
EA OLEDM204-GGA / Allround
This module is perfect for rough environment. An additional frontal glass protects the display against scratch,
shock and UV light. Thanks to its integrated polariser there’s no need for an additionally smoked glass.
EA OLEDM204-LGA / Flat
This module is the standard module and does fit for the most applications. The flat design (2.4 mm) makes
the display perfect for smallest equipment. The background is always deep black for best contrast.
EA OLEDM204-LWA / White and Flat
This module is the standard module and does fit for the most applications. The white colored text and the flat
design (2.4 mm) makes the display perfect for smallest equipment. The background is always deep black for
best contrast.

COLORS (CUSTOM MADE)

The standard colors are yellow and white.
The flat version EA OLEDM204-LGA is on customers request available in 3 more colors. The minimum order
quantity is 500 pcs. and lead time is about 20 weeks. Samples are normally available ex stock.
Interface and software are 100% compatible. The yellow color provides highest brightness and longest life
time.

DATA TRANSFER 3-WIRE SPI (8 BIT)

Data transmission for SPI is unidirectional, that means that data can only be written, there’s no data read
option. Selection for writing data or command is done with the DC bit.

A busy check is not necessary at all. Clock rate may be up to 1 MHz. Data transmission is based on SPI
mode 3, MSB first. For more details please refer to the controllers data sheet SSD1311.

DATA TRANSFER I²C

The I²C mode provides a bi-directional data transmission: That means that data can be written and read.
Because SA0 is internally set to GND, the I²C address is 0x78 (0x3C). The clock rate may be up to 400 KHz.
Please make sure when defining the pull-up resistors that the internal resistance of the display is 600..1000
. This affects the low level when reading data and ACK bit.

Attention: When reading data, after the command for page- or column address there need to be a dummy
read (discard the first byte).

Control byte: Co (Continuation bit) = 0  Display data do follow; 1  refer D/C bit.

}

ACCESSORY: SOCKET EA FL-10P

Using a 10-pin socket makes the display replaceable and
adapts the height. Those socket may also be soldered
automatically by wave soldering or reflow process. Each
display requires 2 pcs.
