sending video to a repurposed LCD cell phone screen

Forgive me if you've heard this one. I am new here and looking for info on how to get video onto a cell phone screen. It doesn't have to be a specific brand, I am looking for the best solution. Also, if anyone has manufacturer info on these type of screens (tiny, relatively cheap, and video capable) please point me at it.

I am essentially doing a feasibility study on an art project using multiple screens displaying same image at differing brightness levels.

TIA for the help!

Thank you for the response. These are the type of screen I am talking about. Has anyone ordered or used these? I am assuming these don't come with the protocol documentation I would need to use them. Does anybody have any protocol or a manufacturer website that may have documentation?

Merry Christmas

Ironically, I was just designing an installation out of LCD screens, Ive done several with comercial LCD monitors, but I wanted to move on to using tons of small LCD screens, as your mentioning. I too am curious how to wire these to an rca, svideo or some kind of large matrix control and power. If anyone knows of where to find that info, I would love to know, I have low level electronics experience, but Im sure I could figure it out if the documentation is explicit enough.

Also, here is another distributor I was looking at.
