No. Different size, different connector.

You won't be able to transplant the screen, it is much larger and has
different connectors and electronics.
Although I have no immediate need for an eMate screen, I would be willing
to trade you a 2x00 screen for it if you pay for shipping. We could also
trade only the backlight if you're interested. All my screens are used,
though, and maybe in worse condition than your eMate's screen.
