How to fake a screen?

How do I put a fake screen in here? I'm thinking plexiglass, Foil-print, white diffursor and a LED strip around the perimeter?
Anybody fakes something like this before? Tips, Tricks, Pitfalls?

While there is technically enough space for a RaspberryPi and an actual screen, the combo I have doesn't fit right side up. Wrong way around the ports are covered... Frustrating mess. Also not willing to drop a lot of money on a thing I will use for 1-2 Photoshoots

Edit: I am reasonably certain I badgered this gentleman for the fiels, back in the day...

Taught myself PCB-design* for this one.
27 tiny** LED placed and soldered by hand on transparent material curtesy of JLCPCB***
Hopefully soon going on the face of a model for a cyberpunk shoot... Model that hopefully looks less grumpy than me, in the process.

*I got called names in the KiCAD subreddit, so please don't ask me for design advice, apparently this will somehow burn my house down (They have many reasonable people there, but the unreasonable ones are REALLY unreasonable)

**0402 red (I also tried purple and pink. Purple turned out to be UV LED and kind of faint, Pink is best enjoyed wearing welding-goggles)

***Not sponsored, but damn they take care of people who don't know what they are doing. Also I need like 2 of these, minimum orders being what they are, I ended up with 125 for less than 40€

Shot on paper negative, attempted to develop on sight, first turned largely black in less than 5 seconds, it's the more streaky one.
Second I pulled through the developer and watched it turn much slower.
Both hampered by the fact that I didn't consider the tray size before starting.
Turned positive digitally

As my 30x30cm camera is scheduled to take it's first "Full format" images in less than a week, I talked to some friends and acquaintances about it (Couldn't stop me if they tried).
I mentioned the issue of having to design a 30x30cm holder and shooting on paper because... yeah, I don't have specialty-size film budget.
X-ray technician pipes up saying "Thats a pretty common format to do hand and feet images on, just get x-Ray film?"
Well, from what I saw they where partially right, the film is much more agreeable on the bank account BUT, the nearest common size seems to be 30x40cm. Couldn't find much in terms of experience stuffing it in a camera. Anybody here done this?
