Description
I've recently picked up a screen which works with AIDA64 using AX206 LCD support via libusb, but it doesn't look like it's supported with this python code yet.
It's available on AliExpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005600240555.html and while it looks similar to the screen mentioned in #426 I note that one mentions it works without AIDA64 so I imagine it's different (I couldn't see a link to download the software for that one to test if it worked on my AX206 based screen)

Research direction
Start by comparing the AX206/libusb behavior described here with the existing support referenced in issue #426. Confirm how the AliExpress display differs from that device and identify the protocol or entry point needed for support. Done means the AX206-based screen works through this Python project, with the behavior verified against the reported hardware.
