There are many kinds of right to repair. One proposal would be not to make any requirements on the hardware, but just to require that software cannot disable the device or otherwise prevent third-party repairs.

So if you get the screen replaced by a third-party, it might be illegal for software to try to detect that and refuse to work or update. This doesn't make any requirement that the screen be easy to repair in the first place.
