The answer's yes but what projector you'll need depends on the resolution etc you need.
One of those micro projectors 30-170£ figure would probably be sufficient.

BTW try one of those semi opaque acrylic sheets as the screen it would work quite well and easy to cut and shape if required!

Hi John,

One more thing I forgot to mention, If I could find one with ribbon bus connecter on the acrylic sheet to the Raspberry Pi 2, I guess that could work on display

Hi Sham,
The acrylic sheet John is referring to is just a sheet of acrylic it has no electronics in it. He is saying to use it as a screen for a separate video projector connected to the raspberry pi through hdmi or composite video.

Here is a surprisingly cheap projector: mini led projector 400lumen 320x240 met vga usb sd hdmi - USD $ 39.99

For the acrylic sheets you're looking at some place like: Acrylic Sheets - Plastic Sheets - The Home Depot
However, to project images on this, you need the variant that has only one side "satin"-ed. Neither my regular acrylic sheet supplier, nor anybody else I could google in 5 minutes specified this. (my regular supplier hints at "both sides"). I don't think that that would work well. So you have to ask them if they have the one side satin-ed version, or buy the clear version and sand it yourself.
