I really can't understand how this would work. Could you explain your "know how" ?

Where would the analyzer and polarizer come into this, presuming you could make a DS screen work after stripping it down?

The gaming industry has almost always used LCD displays for portable gaming. The most common reason is of coarse the power consumption, LCD uses very little power in fact the majority of the power in a LCD display is used to backlight the display. Plasma requires high voltage current to run the display and inverters to raise DC voltage consume copious amounts of power (much of which is wasted).

Well, I'm planning on putting one in a Ross Epidiascope 3.25" slide mount, so that'll be a 1kW Carbon arc bulb and a whacking great lens, we're talking bigger than a cinema screen.

Those will be some big-*** pixels most likely.

I'm thinking no. if for some mad reason you could get it to work the power in it would throw the image how far? 2 " :)
