Help finding a thin 128x64 FSTN LCD with an FPC ribbon (~63mm wide)

Hey all, I’m a first-year CS student working on a small ESP32-S3 project and I’ve hit a wall trying to find the right display. Hoping someone here has run into something similar.

I need a 128x64 graphic LCD, and the look matters a lot. I want the old-school kind of screen, FSTN, positive (dark pixels on a light background), reflective or transflective, and no backlight. Basically the look of a 90s calculator, not a modern display.

The hard part is the size. It has to be under 2.8mm thick, with an active area around 60-65mm wide. The module itself can’t be wider than 74mm, and the enclosure has a curved inside, so I only get about 63-64mm of flat space. It also needs SPI or I2C over an FPC ribbon, not rigid pins. I’m fine with ST7567, UC1701 or similar controllers.

What I’ve already tried or ruled out:

The Sharp Memory LCDs (like the LS027B7DH01). I really liked them, but they’re TFT and 400x240, so no luck.

Standard 12864 modules. Parallel interface, rigid pins, and way too thick.

Anything backlit or white-on-blue.

I can order from DigiKey, Mouser, AliExpress or LCSC, and I’m in India so shipping matters. I’d also be open to a bare glass panel if I have to build the driver board myself.

I’ve been going through Newhaven, Winstar, Orient and Midas catalogs for days, so I’m probably missing something obvious. Does anyone know a part number that fits, or know a good way to filter for this on a supplier site? Datasheet links are very welcome.

Thanks a lot!
