A valliant effort, I guess... But I doubt an LCD (or even a tube) screen will be bright enough to project on it's own... The old ones project through a fresnel lens via a transparency to the prism and focusing lens - the newer ones have the bulb up top and project down to the fresnel lens which in on-top of a mirror... Still needs a transparency though. Not sure how you're going to interface an LCD panel unless you take the back and associated backlight stuff off...
