Hey guys, i have an old camera, and i want to use its LCD.
Here's one Picture of it:

What components do i need?
Thanks in advance,

You will need to ID what model the screen is and what controller chip its using. Then you'll need to find a data sheet on that controller chip. Just keep in mind the Arduino is limited and may only be able to drive the screen in black and white. You may not have full use of color on the screen. It all depends on the controller and what your wanting to do with it.
Looking at the cable in that pic, even if you do find out the specsheet for the LCD, it is highly unlikely you will be able to drive it from the Arduino directly.
If you are comfortable with it, you will need to find an LCD controller chipset to drive it, and then build an interface using that, then connect the Arduino up to that interface; you would probably be better off ditching the LCD and using something else, unless you have a lot of time, experience, patience, tools, etc. To complete a project of this nature is not a small task. I am not saying it is impossible, but you could easily eat up a year or more in experimentation, time, learning, etc - just to interface to this singular LCD.
If that is your goal, then that's OK - go for it; find the specs, find a driver chipset, break out your PCB manufacturing skills, etc - and build the interface.
If, however, your goal is something completely different (ie, using an LCD for a display in another project you are working on), your time and money would be better spent on purchasing or otherwise acquiring a different, more easily interfaced to LCD.
Okay, Thanks for your answers.
I think I'll a "Arduino Compatible" Lcd, to use it. The most time i need it for Debuging, because i have a Lcd also in my Keyboard

/edit:
I found these 3:
Is it possible to Access the coloredLCD with colors too, or just White&Black?
