the panel used in the rift

In the various teardowns availble of a rift that I have seen the screen is not identified. Following the announcment of a 31" 4K panel from asus using IGZO, I saw that sharp make a 7" IZGO panel that has much lower latency than amorphous silicon and that the resolution is the same used by the Rift. I then saw a news feed at display-central.com http://is.gd/jQfiL0 and it mentions a Sharp 443ppi 5" HD panel going into production (using CG-silicon - which is apparently 600x faster than A- silicon??) and Sharp winning an award for a 6" IZGO panel that would offer about 1280 x 1600 per eye i.e. 4X the current resolution
So are you using IZGO panels? (EDIT. apparently not)
Is this something your looking into?
the advantage for US of course is that we will know what resolution to target and when
I have no idea about this stuff one way or another, LCD panels being a pretty much closed book to me.
I don't even know how little I know, or even if I should ask these questions
thanks

    oops hadn't noticed that
    I went to panelook.com http://is.gd/UK4lbn
    and it mentions 3 different varients of the HJ070IA presumably the iterations of the design?
    it says the latest version is IPS, manufactured in amorphous silicon and has viewing angle of 89

    allowing for my complete lack of knowledge of the panel business,
    the information about IZGO displays seem to suggest that it offers significant advantages to HAD devices
    having said that i don't know about its performace in terms of viewing angle, colour reproduction, cost etc
    albeit IZGO seems to offer lower power needs.

    Edit. I had a look for HD panels below 6" on panelook and the only one it currently offered was an:
