Display From a Car Camera

I have searched for this part for about 8 hours in the past 3 days but have not been able to locate what part it is on Google, and Yahoo (via Firefox). I have deleted numbers from the back, then from the front into these two search engines, and also tried Google Lens. I have also conducted some mild searches on here (https://www.allaboutcircuits.com/electronic-components/), Octopart, AllDatasheet, DatasheetCatalog, and Datasheet Archive. I have only gotten hits for what seem to be connectors for circuit boards, but the PCB and display don't appear to have them so I am confused as to why they popped up. I believe it is an LCD display, I removed it from a broken car cam (it no longer records, but the display is still good for another project). I am interested in getting a datasheet for it because I could use the screen to make a mini retro emulation console for some N64 and NDS games I have.

I have attached pictures of the screen I need help identifying, and a photo of the microprocessor that ran the screen and cameras (just in case this helps). I don't really need help with the microprocessor/microcontroller just the LCD display/screen.

I forgot to include I have gotten some hits for microprocessor chips that control LCD displays and audio, but they are just the chips. Not the actual display here from what I can tell.

If your search isn't turning up something then it's probably a proprietary part and you won't find any information about it. Not all displays are made for public use.

If that is the case that would suck. I thought it might have been a common part as by the looks of the microprocessor and connector on the PCB it looks like it might connect over serial data or i2c protocol the flexible PC that goes into the main PCB with the MC chip, also appears to have an adapter that goes from the first flexible pcb to the second flexible PCB that connects to the mainboard, which further leads me to speculate this part was not originally designed as a custom solution, but rather a part that already existed.

In all reality it's really hard to say. It may be that the datasheet was not translated also. Typically if you can get the datasheet of the chip that is all that is really needed since it is what makes the display work after all. A little poking and prodding to figure out which pin of the connector goes to which connector of the chip, and to find out how the configuration pins are set up to determine the communication needed. Unfortunately it seems to be either discontinued or not available to the public.
