Is it possible to remove the matrix from the tablet and connect it via gpio?

1. Is the removal operation possible at home? In order not to spoil the quality of the picture at the same time - as I understand it, the screen consists of glass and a matrix, between which you can make an "air gap".
2. Any matrix can be connected to gpio? When I googled the topic, I wandered into the topic with the photo frame hack - they wrote about incompatibility with paspberry pi in terms of bitness. What to pay attention to? And not only about raspberries, but in general about microcontrollers with gpio.
ps I don't understand DIY - it's interesting to try.

The matrix is ​​usually a monoblock, i.e. external glass is not required. It will work without it if you don't need a touchscreen, for example. You can disassemble most devices with a matrix without damaging it.
Most matrices cannot be connected to the GPIO, if only because there are LVDS lines, i.e. they are not compatible in terms of signal levels, and besides, quite high frequencies - even if you install a converter, the GPIO will most likely not pull.
There are matrices with built-in controllers, ttl levels, low baud rates, and sometimes spi, parallel buses, or other convenient interfaces, but they are used in completely different devices. And, usually, they have a low resolution.
There are also controllers that have a special interface on board for connecting matrices via LVDS.
