Short version

Don't bother.

Long version

There is a small [https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13035](OLED display module) up on sparkfun for basic text and sprites.

Someone also managed to interface a 2.8" TFT display with the Edison, although not without a good amount of trouble, particularly in writing the display drivers. This gives a good look into what might be involved in interfacing any sort of display with the Edison's GPIO pins

While the Z34 processor has on-board graphics, there’s no access to the LCD/DVI/HDMI signals on the connector. The eMMC interface is going to make running a full distro very slow. The Edison is not a laptop computer on a chip — it is very much still an embedded Linux solution.
