Introduction
With some lenses, an old LCD from a mobile phone, a bright LED and some driving electronics it should be viable to build a device capable of projecting stuff on your wall. Note: The dutch pseudo-anglicism "beamer" means video projector.
Info gathering
- Information on the display: serdisplib
The one I've got is a 'type 2'.
Cabling
I could'n find a male DB25 connector so I checked whether a cable I had lying around would be useful.

|---|---|
| PIN2=D0 | PIN15 |
| PIN3=D1 | PIN13 |
| PIN4=D2 | PIN12 |
| PIN7=D5 | NC |

- PCPARPORT = parallel port found on standard pc, http://edge.kitiyo.com/2009/pc-interface-logic/parallel-pc-interface-unit.html
- OTHEREND = other end of cable (standard LapLink??? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LapLink_cable)
Since PIN7 is not connected this isn't going to work :(
