Pursuing a lasting period of quality-testing and trial runs, Apple has finally chosen three suppliers of LCD panels for its next generation iPad. The winners are LG Display, Samsung Electronics and Sharp who all apparently have cut deals to deliver LCD panels for the third-generation iPad, as per DigiTimes story earlier. LG Display would act as the primary provider, while Sharp may stand a chance of overtaking the Korea challenger if it's able to generate steady quality panels.
Apple has apparently been quality-testing iPad 3 displays from Samsung and LG for some time now. The company may entrust backlight segments to Taiwan-based Radiant Opto-Electronics, which also supplied units for previous-generation ipads. Radiant will dispatch their backlight modules to LG Screen, Samsung Electronics and Sharp:
"Radiant accounts for over half of the backlight equipment LG Display requires for its iPad 3 panels, while Samsung suppliers backlight units from the Taiwan producer for all its iPad 3 panels, the sources said. Sharp also uses backlight modules from Radiant for iPad 3 panels, as well as from a Japan-based BLU supplier, as per sources."
The report makes no mention of iPad 3's resolution. The blogosphere has been calling for 4x more pixels when compared to iPad's 1024-by-768 pixel display. This indicates an ultra high-resolution 9.7-inch display with a 2048-by-1536 pixel resolution which Apple would want to market to be Retina-capable.
Big media like the Wall Street Diary have jumped on board, with the Newspaper running a report earlier this month that Retina Display of the iPad 3 will ship early 2012 and not late 2011 as originally predicted. The report does confirm an earlier story saying Apple scrapped plans for Retina Display iPad 3 this year due to issues related to volume production of such a high density display.
