Yes, no, maybe...
You can find various and specialized 'LCD driver boards' that will run generic LCD screens, or specific screens from apple, samsung, sony, etc.
Step 1 is to identify the LCD. (Model and Manufacturer, or the signalling type)
Step 2 is to google search for an "LCD driver board", or "HDMI to (Insert signal type here)"
Step 3 is to plug them in.
I've seen lots of MIPI DSI boards and projects kicking around. If you are lucky, you have something that can be used as a standard device... otherwise it may be time to google around to buy a small LCD with an included driver board.
(They are readily available from many sources)

Instead of trying to drive the screen separately, you may find it easier to use some of the existing tools to turn a phone in to a VR headset:

There are cheap headsets that clip around phones to turn them in to budget VR devices, many of them are based around "Google Cardboard":

May be worth giving those a try if you haven't already, as the cost is minimal and it's good fun. At the very least, you'll have an idea of the complexities of creating your own headset.
