Blurrycam images of Samsung Retina displays
Bloomberg quoting iSuppli:
Samsung Electronics Co. will supply the touch screen for Apple Inc.’s new iPad after LG Display Co. and Sharp Corp didn’t meet the U.S. company’s quality requirements, according to an analyst with iSuppli.
Samsung, the world’s top flat-panel maker, currently is the sole vendor of the display for the 9.7-inch device, said Vinita Jakhanwal, a senior manager at iSuppli, a unit of Englewood, Colorado-based IHS Inc.
The “Frenemy” pact gets tighter. Apple is obviously involved with lawsuits around the world that accuse the very same Samsung of violating its IP with Android phones and tablets.
Samsung also manufactures Apple’s A5X processor at its Austin factory and it has made every iOS device processor since the original iPhone rolled off the assembly line. Moreover, we recently gathered images of Samsung Retina Displays making their way to new iPads.
“The display specifications on the new iPad are very demanding in terms of the very high resolution,” Jakhanwal said in an e-mail. “Achieving this high resolution without compromising on the power consumption and brightness and maintaining Apple’s quality standards are supposedly proving to be a challenge for LG Display and Sharp.”
Samsung makes a mighty nice display.
