Nice standalone graphics LCD - IQuest - Anyone familiar?

At a tag sale I finally purchased an IQuest Quantum Leap handheld kids' thingy.· I've been seeing these all over the place, and for a quarter, I decided to get one to see what was inside.· It was worth it!· several usable parts, but most importantly is a VERY compact, standalone graphic LCD display.· It even has a 10 pin header for all poser, comm, etc.· No other connections.· Pictures attached.··Since I can't find anything about these yet on the net (in terms of the innards like the display, and the display has no numbers), I was wondering if any of the other tinkerers on here have seen this display and know anything about the pinout, voltage requirements, etc?
These could be a great find - I've seen about a dozen of these in the last two months, all for $2.00 or less!· -As long as they're not some really odd proprietary format.· They appear to have all driver circuitry on-board (two fat epoxy blobs on the back of the circuit with probably 100+ tiny runs coming out from under each one.· The IQuest sales specs say "high resolution" LCD display - whatever that means on sales specs... :-)
Thanks for any info,

PS., I added an image of what the I-Quest looked like before I took it apart....
