Portable RCA Projector

This is my first instructable! It tells you how to make your own portable projector that you can take anywhere!
Here are the materials needed:
-Ruler (to cut straight lines)
-Sharp knife and scissors (to cut binder cardboard)
-Wire Cutters (what I use to strip wires)
-Screwdriver with small head (to take apart Monitor)
-3.5 inch TFT LCD Monitor
-2 Binocular lens with rings (the big lens)
-One black binder
-One 9vDC Plug
-One 9vDC Heavy Duty Battery Clip
-One standard 9v battery

Step 1: Assembling the cardboard template

The first step is to cut out some  cardboard from your black binder and use it to construct a small box that will house your monitor.
You also have to glue each lens to their rings (with the curved part facing up), and then proceed to gluing them together, with one on top of the other. Please note that the cardboard box is not the actual housing and will only be used to mark the size and shape of your flexible housing. Next proceed to gluing the lens into a hole that you must cut out from the box. Make sure the hole is centered or your imaged will not be perfect.

The projector utilizes the flexible material to be able to fold down just enough to fit into a pocket!

It is somewhat blurry, and it projects onto the wall an image that's about 1 foot by 1 foot. This instructable shows you the overall concept, but you should experiment with different lenses from different things, like a binocular, a magnifying glass, or if you can, use a lens from a real projector.

What was the source of your 3.5 inch TFT LCD monitor?
