If your display has serial data controller then you need controllers datasheet. Then connect correct power 3.3v or 5v to the controller .
-If the controller is using I2C, use I2C pins of your unit and I2C class of mbed.
-If the controller is using RS-232 or other RS- 4xx standard, use Serial class of mbed and serial tx and rx pins.
- If the controller is using custom 2 wire serial protocol you can use serial tx and rx pins or whatever digital io pin. You need to find or implement bit level controller class for custom protocol.
-If the controller is using using SPI, use SPI connectors and SPI class.
