Lately, I kinda started having trouble seeing the things on my little Hermod Screen.  
And was thinking about somehow adding a bigger screen to the module.  
(A bit like the external Display for Disting EX)  
It looks like there’s enough room for a bigger screen anyway. Maybe it could even be attached on top of the front plate and use the hole of the old display to run cables trough.

Or even just a brighter, more contrasty screen with the same form factor would do.

What are the specs of the original Display, and are there any chances, that Hermod could run a bigger screen (probably with the same resolution) or an oled screen or something? And if so, what specific screen could work here?

@Thibault I think if you’d design an official Squarp Hermod Display Upgrade Kit, that would probably sell quite allright :))

Or is it just not possible in general to drive an OLED Display with the LCD Driver/Controller that is built into Hermod originally?
