LTDC is a STM32 peripheral, not a LCD interface. If you can tell us roughly what type of LCD you want to interface, we can tell you which peripheral may be able to do that.

Sorry I was not clear enough in my question, actually i meant, is there LTDC equalent LCD support available in ESP? ie. using frame/window buffer, DMA external memory (RAM) etc. I want to use ILI9488 driver with ESP,

here I would also like to ask is there some LCD/TFT driver library for ESP? I saw ESP-IDF example using LVGL there are only two drivers available int it, as ESP32 is widely used I was thinking there must be some library with collection of different LCD drivers. just like esp-idf-lib on git hub which mostly have sensor drivers.

There's no direct equivalent; for SPI we have the standard SPI master driver, for parallel display we have the LCD mode of the I2S channels (ESP32), the LCD/camera controller (ESP32S3) and/or the parallel IO controller (e.g. ESP32C6).
