RE: Display recommendation for nRF51-DK ? Library ?

No there's not a compatible Arduino library because the boards aren't Arduinos.

There was, still is, an old LCD driver for the LCD on the old nrf6350 motherboard, it's still in the SDK under 6350.c, but it doesn't say what kind of LCD is on there, it was one of the TWI compatible ones, there's a few.

The steps required to run something like that would be, buy it, mount it on a breakout board, read the product documentation to work out how to power it and how to send data to it then write the code. There's only about 2 or 3 different simple LCD driver chips, that one looks like the one which needs a minimum of 4 data lines and some work, there are others with a TWI or SPI interface which are need less interfacing. Probably googling the driver IC number and 'Arduino' would give you a mountain of code, written for Arduino, which you could use as a starting point. A simple display like that however is probably 1/2 a day's work to implement, they're not hard.
