The display is a 132 x 22 mono LCD. The driver supports the I2C (all variants) and all the Great Cow BASIC commands for GLCD and Rotate etc with support for both legacy and OLED fonts.
The GLCD tested is a 4 Inch , mono LCD with software and hardware I2C. This is very suitable for PIC and AVR. Support of I2C requiring 2 ports in total. Typically operates at VCC 2.8 but always check voltage specifications.
A nice display for cost and performance. The video (above) shows common GLCD commands being used, and, a BMP load method with a bargraph being updated.
You will need to update your system with an updated GLCD libraries and a new UC1601 library.
Not working in Arctic Fox (Mac). Not fully working in Opera (Windows 10, VirtualBox) but I was at least offered the option to download the .gif and I have (at last!) been able to view it.
Do you have a link where I could find the datasheet for the unit you demonstrate, if it isn't too much to ask?

Thanks, that is a great help. I was looking for some more specific information on the LCD you were showing in the animation, dimensions and pin outs. I was wondering if I could use this type of display as a larger replacement for the 1602 type LCD displays.

If you enter UC1601 in the dialog (after the Great-Cow-BASIC-Demonstration-Sources / )... this will show you all the UC1601 demos - at the top of the list.

Beautiful!
As luck would have it, I still have exactly the same LCD displays lying around in my craft workshop. I will think about an MP3 player with a BIG display. So as a first idea

I have thought about a mp3 player. I have i2c one but it just show track numbers.
How to get the extra info like band name,album name I don't know if possible with a pic.

Great Cow BASIC now supports the UC1601 GLCD

Sorry, but is there a reason I can't see the 'video' or picture mentioned in your (first)post above?
Check your browser. I can see it. :-)
Definitely not working in Safari (Mac) even with AdBlock and Ghostery turned off. I'll fire up another browser and give that a go...
It is a gif. Sorted. Hopefuilly. View the attachment.
Ah, and whatever you've done there has worked, now in Safari (Mac) the downloadable option has shown up. Thanks.

I have learnt what not to do re posting GIFs! I added the option to download just now. :-)

I will post.
Just posted the demonstration code I used to GitHub. See here: https://github.com/Anobium/Great-Cow-BASIC-Demonstration-Sources/find/master and search for UC1601
If you enter UC1601 in the dialog (after the Great-Cow-BASIC-Demonstration-Sources / )... this will show you all the UC1601 demos - at the top of the list.
