Over 40 years ago, General Digital began as a small company developing software for a whole
host of applications From those humble beginnings General Digital has grown to encompasshost of applications. From those humble beginnings, General Digital has grown to encompass
three distinct business units: Display Systems, Optical Bonding Laboratories and Software
Services. Offering an incomparable spectrum of integration and value-add expertise and
services, all under one roof, General Digital draws upon the unique skill sets of each of our
three divisions to produce truly innovative and unrivaled products.
