Apple to Use IGZO Displays to Achieve a Thinner Lower-Power iPad 3? (Macrumors)
The latest Digitimes report claims that Apple will be utilizing IGZO (indium
gallium zinc oxide) flat panels instead of IPS (in-plane switching panels) in
its "next-generation mobile display products" such as the iPad 3.
> Starting with the new iPads, Apple will utilize IGZO panels from Sharp in
order to upgrade the display resolution of the new tablets to full HD level,
the sources indicated.
Given Digitimes' misstep just yesterday about Apple's plans for Macworld, it
might be hard to take their new report at face value.
However, this is not the first time that we've heard that Apple will be
pursuing this new technology for the iPad 3. A research note from Jefferies
analyst Peter Misek back in November made very similar claims:
> Also, we believe that Apple and Sharp together have a modified IGZO (indium,
gallium, zinc) technology to achieve 330 dpi, which is sufficient for an HD
display while not using IPS nor having to include dual-bar LED backlighting.
In our view, this should lead to several design advantages, namely the device
can be thinner, battery life should be longer, and the overall experience for
users should be meaningfully improved.
