Overview
GLCD01 is an open-source printed circuit board by mlab-modules, from the mlab-modules/GLCD01 repository on GitHub, published under the GPL-3.0 licence. It is a 2-layer board of 40.5 × 59.9 mm with 19 parts on 13 nets, routed with 86 tracks and 39 vias.
It is built around the MIC1557YM5-TR and BSS138. Its parts include 5 resistors, 4 capacitors, 2 connectors, 1 IC and 1 diode. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards of this library.
Main components
2README
README.mdGLCD01 - MIP LCD display module
MLAB module for the TN0181ANVNANN-GN00 square MIP (Memory-in-Pixel) LCD display. MIP displays retain the image without power, making them suitable for low-power applications. The display is connected via a 10-pin FPC connector (J2) and communicates over a 3-wire SPI interface (SCLK, SI, SCS).
The module includes a MIC1557 RC oscillator that generates the required VCOM polarity-reversal signal for the LCD, so no external signal source is needed. Power supply is 3.3 V via the standard MLAB 2×7 pin header (J1).

Questions
How big is the GLCD01 PCB?
It measures 40.5 × 59.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the GLCD01 use?
19 parts, built around the MIC1557YM5-TR and BSS138. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the GLCD01 KiCad files?
From the mlab-modules/GLCD01 repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hw/sch_pcb/GLCD01.kicad_pcb and its schematic hw/sch_pcb/GLCD01.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the GLCD01 design in my own project?
Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
