OLED maybe but small micros are now so cheap and so small that they're negligible.

Battery is probably still the biggest environmental impact.

One of those 3 cent one time programmable microcontrollers would be sufficient. Something with enough power to run a web server is just wasteful.

You do realize that a 1 cent microcontroller has enough RAM, Flash and processing power to be a web server, correct?

And the term web server doesn't mean it has to run the whole of AWS. It just means it can deliver some content over http.
