Can I use the iPad display for a Mini Galaga cabinet?

I was wondering if anybody know how the iPad IPS screen interfaces? Can I hook it to a mini-ITX board to use it in a Mini Galaga cabinet? I have a spare iPad I want to use for this, since the screen is worth more to me than the pad itself.

And how is the backlight powered? Is it easy to make the screen + backlight stand-alone working?

nice idea - but if i would do something like that - i would go the iCade way

to bad it was a april fools day joke

if i wanted something like a real arcade machine, i would use a way cheaper device and use macmame for that ;-)

Why not use the iPad completely? It supports USB keyboards, it's just a matter of finding a game that uses USB keyboards as a controller, build it in a nice case and you're done!

and what should one do with the keyboard ?

that would not be the same as the "mini galaga cabinet" or the iCade macmame stuff. it would require a little bit more than a usb keyboard (surely - a controller could port the control keys for arcade joysticks and buttons to the usb keyyboard - but since there is no "app" for that - it wouldn't make any sense to make the hardware when there is no mame for the ipad
