Saelig Announces New Intelligent 1.44 LCD Display Modules

The uLCD-144's display is a high quality active-matrix TFT-LCD panel with LED backlight, providing a greater than 150 degree viewing angle. uLCD-144 supports external SD/µSD memory cards for storing images, video clips, fonts and general purpose data logging.

Two versions of the uLCD-144 are available: uLCD-144(GFX) for standalone applications, and uLCD-144(SGC) for serial-driven, microprocessor-based devices, allowing the display module to be used as a slave device where the external host sends all screen-related functions using a simple serial protocol. The Goldelox-GFX2 chip embedded in the uLCD-144(GFX) display allows users to write applications using 4DGL, the high level 4D Graphics Language, which has syntax similar to popular languages such as BASIC, C and Pascal, running stand-alone on the display and giving access to additional I/O. The two GPIO ports of uLCD-144(GFX) support digital I/O, A/D converter with 8/10 bit resolution, complex sound generation, dedicated RTTTL tune engine, multi-switch joystick and Dallas1-Wire interface. The module's I/O features can interface to serial, analog, digital, buttons, joystick, sound generation and Dallas 1-wire devices. uLCD-144(GFX) includes 10K bytes of flash memory for user code storage and 510 bytes of RAM for user variables. 4DGL-Workshop3 - a comprehensive IDE that includes editor, compiler, linker and downloader is provided free of charge for developing complete 4DGL applications

Applications for the uLCD-144 include general purpose embedded graphics, electronic gauges and meters, test and measurement instrumentation, industrial control and robotics, GPS navigation systems, medical instrumentation, smart-home automation, security and access-control systems, gaming equipment etc.
