Find the right display, right now

If you need a display in days, not weeks, start here. Communica maintains a broad stock of character LCDs, graphic TFTs, small OLED modules, and e-ink panels that suit student kits, prototype builds, and production run-ups. Our priority is availability and practical fit: pick a screen that works with your controller, power budget and enclosure, then collect from Samrand or a nearby branch to avoid shipping delays.

Why local stock matters

Ordering locally reduces lead time, simplifies VAT invoices for labs or procurement, and lets you swap to a compatible module quickly when requirements change. Check live stock and branch pickup options to reserve items before heading to our warehouse.

  • Immediate collection from Samrand, Pretoria CBD or Cape Town branches.
  • VAT invoices and account quotes for tertiary, maker labs and procurement teams.
  • Wide brand coverage - popular modules from Adafruit and other maker favourites.

Specification callouts that speed decisions

When you compare displays, check these practical specs first: physical size and mounting, interface (parallel, SPI, I2C, RGB), supply voltage, backlight type, and viewing angle. For quick reference, use the table below to map typical modules to common use cases.

ModuleInterfaceBest forTypical supply
16x2 Character LCDParallel / I2C adapterMenus, status panels5 V
0.96" OLED (128x64)I2C / SPILow-power handhelds, wearables3.3 V
2.8" TFT (320x240)SPI / ParallelTouch demos, GUI prototypes3.3 V / 5 V
2.9" E-inkSPIStatic signage, low-power displays3.3 V

If you are unsure which interface your microcontroller supports, we recommend checking controller pinouts first and then using our compatibility guidance when comparing modules.

Compatibility, accessories and example bundles

Match displays with the right accessories to reduce integration time: level shifters for 5V-to-3.3V logic, waterproof bezels for outdoor signage, and adapter PCBs for Arduino or Raspberry Pi headers. Popular bundles we advise for classroom and lab orders include a TFT with a touchscreen overlay, a matching cable set, and a small power regulator so students can prototype safely.

Simple wiring examples

Two common wiring cases are shown below.

SPI OLED (3.3 V)MCU    -> OLEDMOSI   -> MOSISCLK   -> SCLKCS     -> CSDC     -> DCGND    -> GND3V3    -> VCC
I2C OLED (3.3 V)MCU    -> OLEDSDA    -> SDASCL    -> SCLGND    -> GND3V3    -> VCC

Handling objections: stock, lead times and support

Concerned about stock accuracy? We update inventory regularly and offer branch pickup to secure parts quickly. For larger or repeat orders, request an account quote so procurement teams get clear lead-time estimates and VAT-compliant paperwork. Use our displays in stock page to plan collections and avoid delays: Branches & Trading Hours.

Compare specs and request project help

If you need help comparing refresh rates, viewing angles or touch controllers, choose displays-quote or displays-price. Our team can recommend swaps that keep lead times short and costs predictable - ideal for student labs spinning up multiple kits. Learn about our company and how we support education and makers on the About Us page: About Communica.
