Using any LCD available, few LEDs and a magnifying glass you can create a simple projector.

Tips:
1) Don't scratch the screen or polarizing filters
2) Don't burn down the house
3) Do not do this while the LCD is powered on
4) Do not bend the LCD
5) Do not squish the LCD
6) Do not destroy the rubber conductor
7) The LCD has to work after removing the back and putting LEDs there
Built it and thought that it would be nice to share it with you guys. If you manage to improve it and/or make it cheaper, let me know.
Acquire the LCD screen, make sure it works.
Open the enclosure carefully.
Unscrew the screen, make sure all connector stay connected (or the rubber conductors), they are hard to connect back.
Depending on the screen, some have reflecting/blocking layers behind the screen, remove it CAREFULLY and make sure you don't remove the polarizing filters (Should have one on both sides)
I added a few pictures, the image on the wall could be better because my magnifying glass is a bit scratched and could be better. This is overall, the first working prototype.
EDIT: I have no pictures of the RGB one, I unfortunately decided so take some components for another project, I'll see what I can do.
