Before you read this, please note that I am a only a child with a growing interest in electronics. I want to have a laser project numbers like in a 7 segment display, is there a way to hook a 7 segment display up to a laser to have the laser display the numbers onto a flat surface? The design needs to be as compact as possible. Do you know if maybe there is a electronic converter piece that can be hooked up in place of the 7 segment display? Like this:

Binary for the 7 segment display - ??Mystery part described above??? -Laser display module.

Again, I just started electronics a few days ago, I've got some grasp on the basic stuff, but I could really use some help here. If you don't understand what I mean, I'll find some other way to tell it. I wanted to ask on a forum because when it comes to electronics I have a very limited amount of resources and I needed to ask people who know what they're doing. Please forgive me if I happen to waste your time, again I am only an ordinary child of 12 years.
