Plant Apple with IGZO displays for iPad 5, iPad mini 2 and iPhone 5S? Current reports suggest that the US company is fiddling with the use of the new screen technology for the 2013 generation of its iOS gadgets. According to this, Apple should be in talks with the IGZO manufacturer Sharp to find out how many IGZO displays the Japanese would manufacture or manufacture in 2013. The Digitimes branch office is used as usual for unspecified industrial sources.
They also said that Apple is investigating whether the previous iPad mini-screen supplier AU Optronics (AUO) from China - in addition to LG Display exclusive partner for the screen production of the new 7 inch tablet - could provide manufacturing capacities for IGZO displays. According to further reports, the company Innolux Corporation (formerly Chimei Innolux, CMI) has been given the license to use IGPS technologies at its 3G and 5G production branches.
This in turn could lead to Innolux entering the supply business at Apple. After all, there are often reports that Apple's partners are overwhelmed by the ever-increasing demand for end-users for iPads, iPhones & Co. Finally, Digitimes writes that screen makers in South Korea - probably LG Display and Samsung - according to market observers in the future would be looking back against Japanese companies - most likely Sharp. This is at least true if Apple actually should opt for IGZO displays for its new iPad 5, iPad mini 2 & iPhone 5S gadgets.
IGZO displays have the advantage over previous panel technologies of enabling thinner and thus lighter housing designs. One of the first and most exciting current Apple rumors is after all a significant weight reduction on the iPad 5 (iPad-5 release is supposedly already in March). At the same time, IGZO displays are more stream-saving and can provide a sharper picture depending on the manufacturing process than Apple's Retina standard displays.
