Hmmm... The LCD display chosen should probably have its own
micro and drivers on board. The only downside is that ties you to
a smaller number of displays.

I'd suggest choosing one that is multiple sourced and has a simple
interface so that obsolescence does not occur too early

The number of lines to drive the dispay of the LCD would be pretty high
if all
the electronics are offboard (ie on the main PCB).
