Apple’s iPad 2 seeks new technology for upgrading its current liquid crystal displays supplied by Samsung rival LG. Samsung’s AMOLED display technology has been equipped and marketed on their Galaxy S smartphone series, and in the future, their line of tablets.
According to an anonymous source in speaking with The Korea Herald,
“Apple wants to tap into Samsung’s AMOLED technology for an upgraded version of the iPad 2, considered as many by the iPad 3 that is likely to be launched toward the end of this year.”
Using AMOLED technology, the iPad 3 display would provide a brighter screen and run on less power. This would allow for an iPad with even more battery life.
Apple is also working on otaining processors and flash chips from Samsung. By adding new displays from the same company, Apple iPad production could become more swift. Assuming of course Samsung can produce enough AMOLED displays to meet iPad 3 demand.
If any deal for the displays fall through, LG will be losing one of its largest clients. LG has been rumored to be adding a new display assembly line in their Gumi plant to meet the high iPad demand.
An interesting side note to the Apple-Samsung partnership is Apple’s suing Samsung for patent infringement regarding Galaxy devices.
