I'm not so convinced about the LCD physiognomy. When viewed in profile Beeps has a nose.

It would be difficult (but not impossible) to shape an LCD display to have the contours of a simplified human face.
FWIW, Jeph stated that Beepatrice's face was a screen on Twitter at some point around her original introduction. Yes, I know that's a third-level of official rather than canon but, as it hasn't been explicitly Jossed, I'm sticking with it for now.
Cornelius:
The simple solution would be to insert separate lcd-screens for the emotive areas - eyes and mouth - in a pre-shaped face.
TheEvilDog:
I think Bicentennial Man might be a more apt model for AI chassis and how they emote.

No reason why the QC universe shouldn't have a more sophisticated screen technology than we have though - especially as I have no idea what's in labs... Flexible (to an extent) screens are already a thing after all.
