Yeah, you should be able to. You just need a suitable controller board for it. I recommend you take a look at a discussion about this on their forums:

Whoa your link is way better, haven't looked into those adapters for a while. Thanks for the info.
My name is also Andrew.
What a coincidence haha! Happy new year from an Andrew to another! :D
You're saying the LCD panel? It's possible, you'll need to figure out how many pins your LCD uses. If I recall correctly, there are 30 and 40 pin variants, but if you are buying a new panel you'll need this info anyway.
If you know the pin configuration, you can get something like this

Should be a power cable to the board, then a 30 or 40 pin ribbon cable to the LCD, then audio and HDMI on the board.
I used to work in computer repair, and we had so many "lightly damaged" LCD panels. A couple of my coworkers made diy monitors with them, and had no complaints.
