Active Matrix OLED 2.83" with Touchscreen
Replacement:LCD-10089. This is a slightly larger TFT LCD from the same manufacturer. It also has touchscreen functionality and will serve as a replacement in most applications. This page is for reference only.
The uOLED-320XX-P1T series are compact & cost effective all in one display modules using the latest state of the art Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED) technology with an embedded PICASO graphics controller that delivers stand-alone functionality to any project. The easy to learn and use 4D Graphics Language (4DGL) with its vast built in library functions will allow rapid application development.
4DGL is a graphics oriented language, allowing the developer to write applications in a high level language (syntax similar to popular languages such as BASIC, C, Pascal, etc.) and run it directly on the PICASO processor embedded in the uOLED-320XX-P1T modules.
4DGL allows the user to take complete control of all available resources on that hardware platform such as the Serial Port, Graphics AMOLED Display, uSD-Card, I/O pins, etc. This eliminates the need for an external host controller/processor to drive the uOLED-320XX-P1T modules via serial commands. It provides the user complete control over the hardware module allowing them to quickly develop powerful applications.

Just to clear up a couple of the comments I see on here, it doesn't really matter that it's a 4DGL model. If you want the serial model you can just put the serial firmware on it. You need the uUSB-MB5 (or something like it) though to copy over the firmware files.
We wrote a little article about these 4Dsystem's OLEDs and how to use them in your own project a while back:

If anyone has purchased this module and any other 320XX-P1 series the displays from sparkfun or any other distribuctor can now be used with any host microcontroller. All you have to do is go to 4Dsystems website and download the pmmc file for your display.
I have one of these and I love the way it looks.
It is not very usable- very expensive for something with no way to access IO. I hear (since last year!)that they are coming out with a breakout board which will allow IO accessibility.
The serial communications allow only a byte to be passed back and forth between another controller and the display.
Even if the IO ports were accessible, there are not that many (their documentation says both 5 and 8 in two different places). So I had to interface with another MCU to get enough IO points.
So just not that functional.
There is a board on the 4Dsystems website that allows you to access the connectors.
I took the connectors off the back of mine, that helps.
If I understand it correctly, this display module does not support serial interfacing out-of-the-box, like the older 4D Systems displays. "4DGL" programs must be uploaded to and run on the display module instead.
According to [1], firmware for serial interfacing is on its way. To upload new firmware, ?USB-CE5 [2] or something like that is required.

Sorry link above doesn't work, here is the good one:

Is this price really correct? Do OLED's have an equal amount of benefit?
Or better framed: Is anyone buying this stuff?
