Not possible.

VNC server is possible under old Xorg/X11 images (Generic Legacy) but that's for accessing an LE from a remote device. Creating some kind of VNC client add-on to create an outbound connection and display that through Kodi is an entirely different and more complex proposition. The better option would be to support "casting" but there is no cross-platform standard (and VNC is not one either) and Apple has buried theirs in proprietary encryption (AirPlay worked in the past, but no longer). It's something that will be shitty to implement and support and thus no community developers have volunteered or been self-motivated for the task.
-
BTW: The Android implementation is called Miracast. Together with the Kodi app it might work for you.
-
What exactly you mean? Can i just use Miracast somehow? I dont understand
It's AirPlay for Android. It's a screen mirroring service, directly provided by Android OS. Google it, that's not our turf.
-
Streaming from AirPlay worked until iOS 8.0, then Apple changed the (proprietary) protocol and it hasn't worked since. Miracast has never been supported in Kodi.

I didn't ask what is it, i asked how to use it with kodi as you said . But chewitt said it not supported.
-
It mirrors the whole display, so it's not related to Kodi, and no Kodi support is needed.
You need a Miracast receiver device, like a Miracast TV or an HDMI adapter. Also make sure to have the right Android version.

This has nothing to do wtih what i asked. I asked though LE, not using extra hardware.

I know, that's why I said "BTW". Extra hardware is the most reliable way to make it work.

What about sunshine on host computer and moonlight plugin (actually exits libreelec on start and restarts it on exit)? I am casting my laptop to librelec this way.
