Description

**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
The Lyligo T5-4.7inch is a great e-paper module based on an ESP32. It has a resolution of 960*540, 16 gray level and support partial refresh. I would be great to have it integrated in ESPHome the same / similar way Waveshare e-paper screens and modules are.

**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
To date there is no support for this module in ESPHome. The only support given by the maker is through Arduino IDE

**Additional context**
This is the maker's GitHub for this product: [https://github.com/Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-EPD47](url)

Research direction

Start by reviewing the maker's LilyGo-EPD47 repository and comparing the requested module with ESPHome's existing Waveshare e-paper support. Confirm how the 960×540 display, 16 gray levels, and partial refresh should be integrated; done means the Lilygo T5-4.7-inch module has working ESPHome support.
