Coo, this question is asked a lot!

The short answer is you can't, because the LCD driver is integrated on the motherboard of the laptop.

Notebooks typically use an LVDS interface between display and motherboard. Graphics cards use TMDS in their DVI interfaces. While these standards may appear superficially similar, they are not compatible.

LVDS and TMDS are explained and compared here:

Here is a product spec, including pinouts, for a typical LG-Philips panel:
