What display is used in remote control
The only custom parts of a custom LCD are its size, and the transparent ITO electrodes on the glass. Typically, the electrodes are created with photolitography, which is somewhat similar to the process used for custom PCBs.
For LCDs, the setup costs are much higher than actual production costs, so you would not use them unless you planned to make a certain number of devices. The process is not as automated as for PCBs.
Dave Jones made several videos about a custom LCD for his USB power supply:
