Last week, Apple started selling full-size tablets latest generation iPad, but the company can not accurately specify the appearance date of the compact model iPad mini in stores .
The main suppliers of LCD panels for the iPad mini second generation are LG and Sharp. The first supply 60% of the required number of screens, and the other - 40%, but Sharp was faced with production difficulties that lead to the problem of screen burn-out .
Note that Sharp uses an active layer of indium, gallium, and zinc (IGZO), and leads to burnout is the imperfection of technology in the manufacture of screens with a high density of pixels. However, LG, using amorphous silicon (a-Si), also failed to avoid difficulties with production. Now Apple is going to order an LCD panel from old contractor - Samsung.
