Description
Numpy is used for RGB565 conversion in lcd_comm_rev_a.py
This change has been added in this PR: #317
It could be extended to other display driver classes that also use RGB565 like at least lcd_comm_rev_b.py
Numpy could also be used for transpose/rotate operations (only if it does not impact performances negatively)

Research direction
Start with library/lcd/lcd_comm_rev_a.py and PR #317, then compare library/lcd/lcd_comm_rev_b.py and other display drivers that use RGB565. Check whether numpy can also handle transpose/rotate operations without hurting performance. Done means the applicable drivers use numpy and performance remains acceptable.
