LG, Samsung and Sharp will provide Retina displays for Apple’s iPad 3, DigiTimes reported on Tuesday. In mid-July, rumors surfaced that Apple was testing Retina displays from Samsung and LG, and those rumors were confirmed days later when LG’s CEO said Apple will use its Retina LCDs in its next-generation iPad. Apple is also reportedly considering an investment of as much as $1 billion in a new Sharp factory that will be used to provide screens for its iPhone and iPad products. LG will be the largest iPad 3 LCD supplier followed by Samsung, although DigiTimes said Sharp could soon surpass the South Korea-based company as Apple’s second largest iPad 3 panel provider. Radiant Opto-Electronics will be the largest backlight unit supplier for the screens, according to the site’s sources. The most recent reports have suggested production of the iPad 3 could begin in September with a launch expected in early 2012.

    I’m more concerned about next season’s version of the Samsung DROID Galaxy Tab 10.1, Samsung DROID Galaxy SIII, Samsung DROID Galaxy Tab 7 incher, and the Samsung DROID Nexus S2 4G LTE.    Enough with the crApple for today.  More DROID!!!!

        Norm I’m going to have to agree on this one. Your trolling is as boring as the true fanboy rants are

    Wonder which batch will be recalled first.

      None.  Stevie doesn’t admit defects, they just ignore them and rush out the rumors of the follow up.

      • Booboolala2000

        Nice! Too bad this isn’t even much if a follow up to the original iPad. Dual core and a hi res screen with lackluster color and brightness?

      • Fuckandroid

        Yeah and the lackluster design and display sure ruined Apple’s sales right?….

        How can you conclude brightness and color issues just by hearing it’s a better resolution?

    Apple is cornering the market for very hi-res 10″ displays. A very wise move.

    Then all the other’s will complain about component shortage on displays for up to a year and say they can’t compete.

    Well guess what, nobody prevented them from cornering the same market.

    Those fat Apple coffers are finally being put into some use.

    yes….

  • Captain Obvious

    Now crAPPLE will begin suing them claiming they have stolen their ideas for tablet displays. If I am not mistaken crAPPLE does own the patent for the rectangle…

    Still don’t see why Samsung should make the Ipad 3 their screen after being sued and banned from The Netherlands.
