According to The Verge it's a Sharp IGZO panel. Which make sense since Sharp already released a phone under their own brand in Japan with a 120 Hz panel.

So the phone is probably built by Sharp. Or maybe not.

I could not find the panel in question but Sharp make a 2.9" 120Hz 1440x1440 panel:

I do wonder if this panel is designed for VR gaming, I can't think of any 'microwave oven display' grade applications for such a panel.

It is a sharp panel, but they are using the phone product peipe of nextbit , the mobile phone company that Razor acquired last year.
