I missed that which datasheet and where?  I've seen something about 256 levels in a few sheets.

alank2:
It is working now.  I tried a loop with all 256 steps and it kept increasing smoothly until rolling over and then I tried 8 steps from low to high and you can see each of those steps too.  Pretty cool little displays to play with.  I love that they emit light like a LED, but with fairly low power consumption.

The one you posted, page 7: http://www.buydisplay.com/download/manual/ER-OLED0.49-1_Series_Datasheet.pdf

256 possible values in a register doesn't always mean they use all 8 the bits in hardware. eg They might only use 2 of them.

amyk:
Those are just a sample of the lifetime vs contrast graph. The controller has true 256-level gradation.

Apparently so.

But when I wrote the original post the OP was saying: "I made it step from 0x00, to 0x8F, to 0xFF, but I only see two brightness steps and only see two distinct steps when monitoring current."
