Zephyr-friendly Embedded Display Shopping Guide

" summary

A practical checklist for picking a Zephyr-ready display: modules ship panel + controller (chip‑on‑glass) and the Zephyr driver targets the controller, so match the module datasheet to device‑tree properties; simple GUIs use the CFB library or LVGL with serial modules and a common SPI hookup — this is what a custom FPC module and Zephyr stack actually use and it works; advanced offloaders exist (e.g. FT81x smart displays) but need bespoke drivers and MCU peripherals like RGB/DSI for high‑bandwidth panels.
