One of those rather fragile flat ribbon cables* and some conductive epoxy
used *very* sparingly in small blobs on the metalised contacts? (if you can
see them)  Obvioulsy you'd need ribbon cable with the same pitch as the
display.
And probably only good for one offs if it works.

*Don't you absolutely hate these things?  You only have to look at them and
they're broken and they are always permantently connected, no sockets, so
after you've taken something to bits you have to be mega-carefull not to let
whatever is on the end to swing around.  Horrible.
