Laptop Displays

Is there any way at all to use older laptop displays with a PC computer?

There are of the older laptop displays floating around, and I think that they
would make a good display for a CNC machine if they could be used,
liteweight, cheap, not bulky.
Right now I have an IBM 365 X with mother board blown, the display is still
excellant, how can I use it? Don't have a boat.........
I have an EMCO CNC5 lathe and thinking about upgrading it, this type of
display would be a natural for it.

Any help?
