I had an LCD screen lieing around from one of my old cars. Not many people will have one, but i suspect you may be able to find something similar for cheap if you wish.

I also bet you can purchase a portable dvd player from a surplus electronics store for cheap!

I cut out a whole in my vest and secured the screen.

The screen is powered by 14.4 volts at 4400 mah batteries.

You can display something on your screen by either an ipod, or the portable dvd player.

I used a circuit that I designed to display text and play mpeg's and graphics that I had programmed.
