LG and AU Optronics listed as Display Suppliers for 'iPad Mini' releading in October
Bloomberg reports that LG Display and AU Optronics are the main suppliers for the 7.85-inch display chosen for Apple's forthcoming "iPad mini" removing the name of Sharp due to delay in New iPhone's display. The publication confirmed that its releasing is finalized in October.
Interestingly, claims of LG and AU Optronics serving as suppliers for the iPad mini display can be traced all the way back to October 2011, when Taiwan's United Daily Newsclaimed that the two companies had been sending samples to Apple. The Wall Street Journal reiterated the claim in February of this year.
The orders will mark the first time AUO, a maker of panels for Apple’s MacBooks and Sony Corp. TVs, is supplying screens for Apple handheld devices.
Carolyn Wu, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment. Sharp Corp. may make panels for the device in the future and will not be an initial supplier, three of the people said.
The report also cites TPK and Foxconn subsidiary Yeh Chang Technology as handling the lamination coating for the display. Carolyn Wu, a spokeswoman for Apple, declined to comment. Sharp Corp. may make panels for the device in the future and will not be an initial supplier, three of the people said.
