Shouldn't it be possible to just use one of the cameras or even the light sensor as receiver and the screen as sender? At that point, you only need software support.

well, maybe. Neither cameras nor screens are optimized for the infrared spectrum (in fact, cameras in particular filter it). So that might be possible but I wouldn't bet on it

Might not be as reliable and will be less efficient in just trying to encode and decode messages in them without needing an epilepsy warning every time you use it.

Edit: unless you meant generating and reading IR through them, in which case it might not work at all
