Comparing uLCD-144 P2 and G2 Series
The uLCD-144P2 series, powered by the advanced PIXXI-28 processor, offers significant enhancements over the G2 series, which uses the GOLDELOX processor.
The P2 series delivers superior graphics performance, increased memory capacity, faster processing speeds, and additional features like ViSi-Genie capability. These improvements make the P2 series ideal for new designs. Conversely, the G2 series, while still supported and manufactured as long as there is demand, is not recommended for new projects due to its older technology.
The new P2 series has been meticulously designed to be mechanically compatible with the G2 series, facilitating a seamless transition for existing designs seeking an upgrade.

Frequently Asked Questions
Find quick answers about our display modules, embedded integration, customization capabilities, and system compatibility.
How do I choose the right display module for my project?
Start by identifying the demands of your product environment: required screen size, touch capability, operating conditions and UI complexity. Our consistent form-factor families allow you to select a module that fits your constraints today and upgrade performance later without redesigning your enclosure or PCB. Our documentation hub provides comparison tables to assist selection.
What is the difference between a smart display and a host-driven display?
Smart displays include an onboard processor that handles graphics, widgets, UI logic and drawing commands internally. This reduces load on your host MCU, simplifies code and often shortens development time dramatically. Host-driven modules require the host MCU to manage everything, which may be appropriate for minimal UIs but introduces more integration work.
Can I upgrade processors without changing my enclosure or PCB?
Yes. Our architecture is deliberately designed around footprint consistency. Most display families maintain identical mechanical and electrical footprints across multiple processor types, enabling generation-to-generation performance improvements without mechanical redesign.
Do you offer non-touch and touch options?
Yes. Many display families provide variants for non-touch, resistive-touch and capacitive-touch configurations. Capacitive-touch variants are recommended for modern, responsive UI experiences.
