iMac: What "Conversion Cable" would allow me to use a OG Unibody iMac Screen with later Slim iMac?

I find the various LVDS/whatever nonsense a bit hard to follow so do feel free to talk to me like I use Windows 11:

I need to know what both the 27" Unibody iMac & the later 27" "Slim" iMacs use to connect the screen to the Mainboard/Graphics Card as far as "format"/Amount of Pins on the cable. I do know the older "Unibody" iMacs used proper Graphics Cards whereas the Slim models (or at least mine) have onboard GPU's. I assume, like with MacBooks, the Slim models with Retina Displays likely used a different cable but ---whatever.

Basically, Pretend I have both generations of iMac in pieces in front me except the screen (& everything that goes with it) for the Slim & I want to make one fancy Mr. Potato Head of machine. Slim Internals & everything Unibody External. I can easily find the Cable & Apple MPN of the cable for the Unibody but don't beleve I was able to properly know the "format"/output of said cable.

Thank you x100 in advance & hope everybody has a wonderful new year ahead of them.
