The uLCD-43 is an intelligent graphics display that harnesses the power to deliver a diverse range of features in a single, compact cost effective unit. Embedded at the heart of the design is the PICASO processor, which is driven by a highly optimised virtual core engine; EVE (Extensible Virtual Engine).
An extensive range of hardware and software peripherals have been integrated into the design, to give the user freedom to adapt the module to suit almost any application. Features include; a 4.3'' TFT 480x272 touch screen display, audio, micro-SD card connector, an expansion port along with a series of GPIO, I2C pins and serial comms.
The uLCD-43 serves as the perfect solution to be deployed at the forefront of any product design, requiring a brilliance of colour, animation or images on a 4.3’’ widescreen display.
- uLCD-43-P (Non Touch version)
- uLCD-43-PT (Resistive Touch version)
- uLCD-43-PCT (Capacitive Touch version)
The PmmC for this product for use with Workshop 4 is available from the Workshop 4 Product Page, on the PmmC/Firmware tab.
Note: The PICASO processor on the Display module can be re-programmed with the latest PmmC/Firmware for updates and future proofing via the Workshop 4 IDE Software. This process requires the use of the 4D Programming cable.

The Display Modules PICASO processor can be re-programmed with the latest PmmC/Firmware as updates or bug fixes are mad available. This process is conducted via the Workshop 4 IDE Software, and requires a 4D Systems approved programming cable or adaptor.
Workshop4 is a comprehensive software IDE for Microsoft Windows that provides an integrated software development platform for all of the 4D family of processors and modules. The IDE combines the Editor, Compiler, Linker and Downloader to develop complete 4DGL application code. All user application code is developed within the Workshop4 IDE.
