[PD] mini screen for eyes projection

[Alex from Idoia]

Yes, basically it is for a head mounted device. I found the sony 
glasses in question, but I wonder if I could find the monitors as an 
apart component to built my own glasses.
Based on the fact that the cheapest webcam are around 40 Euros, and 
that you can actually find the 'iris' component for 23 euros, I thought 
that I could find the screens alone for a good price.
Thanks
