# Grove OLED Display 0.96" (SSD1308Z)

The OLED display 0.96" module is a monochrome 128x64 dot matrix OLED display module with the Grove compatible 4-pin I2C interface. Compared to LCD, OLED screens are more competitive with a number of advantages such as high brightness, self-emission, high contrast ratio, slim/thin outline, wide viewing angle, wide temperature range, and low power consumption. For complete specifications, please check [the official WiKi page](http://wiki.seeed.cc/Grove-OLED_Display_0.96inch/) of this component.

You can see how to download and install the driver by referring to:
