4D Systems launched today two new display modules: uLCD-144(SGC) and uLCD-144(GFX). The new modules include a 1.44", full colour active matrix LCD TFT display and are based on 4D Labs' GOLDELOX-SGC and GOLDELOX-GFX2 chips. Their rich set of features, tiny form factor, low cost, and ease-of-use make them one of the most flexible graphics solutions available.
