Arduino Mirror OLED - WHAT?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Learn how to use the OLED SSD1320 160x80px connected to Arduino UNO using either the IIC or SPI connection. This display is very unusal and at certain angles, looks like a mirror.

Normal oleds have a polarizing filter on top to increase contrast. If you peel this filter off you can turn any oled into a mirror one. I did this a few years ago on a screen whose filter got really scratched up and liked the look so I just never replaced the filter.

It's really good to see this explanation around memory usage. I find that Arduino boards can often be challenging to developers just starting with this kind of hardware, counting RAM in KB is definitely a major limitation (compared to say the MBs you often find on ESP32 boards). It's even more difficult with ATtiny chips, e.g. an ATtiny85 has 8KB of flash and 512B of RAM if I remember correctly. Power consumption for these chips is fantastic though!

only reason to use something like that would be a smart mirror, but for that it's too small.

You can make most OLED's mirror-like like this one by peeling off the front polarizer.

It's just a normal OLED without polarizer, the polarizer ages in the air, so the producer always skip the last step, and leave it for the reseller to install the polarizer and protective film. You can just peel off the gray plastic film on a normal OLED and it will become like this one. The polarizer is for reduce reflection.

Thank you keep going, I love your OLED ideas ♥

With this kind of display u can read the news when brushing your teeth

There is not advantage to this type of display - they just don't put the anti-glare film on it.

[andymouse]

That is unusual indeed and has a sort of VFD vibe going on but not quite there ! I guess if your super paranoid you could read data whilst keeping an eye out behind you, other than that I have nothing !...cheers !

I saw similar displays on some rear-view mirrors. But it was a cheaper configuration, without OLED - the mirror surface was “above” the display and caused significant interference for both the rear-view and for the display itself.

Put a second two way mirror on top and you could get a sick infinity effect!

[jeffschroeder]

I agree that it is difficult to imagine any advantage to a display like this - it mostly interferes with being able to view the graphics..

Is there any seamless bezeless display? Bigger size is okay

How to display images on oled display from sd card module?

[JeremySeitz]

maybe you can aim a focused light on the display, and the graphics could be projected on a wall?

I agree it looks cool but I also don't see any reason it would be useful. Thanks for getting one so I don't need to.
