We are talking about transporting tons of equipment trough light years of radiation many times stronger then the one that is already frying computers in satellites and probes within heliosphere, heck even on Earth's surface it's enough to flip bits in RAM dies. The simpler and radiation resistant stuff you can pack on board of transport ship the less effort you have to put in shielding that equipment during transport.
As for that passive LCD - I don't see how is that an argument for anything disputed about CRT. This is a far cry from manufacturing exact usable universal LCD display of resolution of even 200x320 that is not slower than snail in terms of responsiveness.

Your original post postulated a species who has solved that which for us, with our known physics, is unsolvable, that being faster than light travel and/or very near light speed travel.
And yet, with such incredible technical knowledge far beyond what our present day knowledge tells us you discount that this same species has not already solved the radiation shielding problem?
By the time your fictional species has solved the FTL problem, they are likely many decades/centuries past having already solved the radiation shielding problem.

Yes, that might be possible.
