[ PConline Information ] almost everyone agrees that Apple’s next-generation iPad mini will adopt the retina screen, but we are most concerned about is what will be when the iPad mini released recently widely circulated news is Expected release period will be further delayed, the most important reason is that the monitor supplier production plans repeatedly changed, all the manufacturers are still many technical problems yet to break.
Apple iPad Mini2 picture series of evaluation forums offer
NPD DisplaySearch is the first report of this resolution is 2048×1536 7.9 inch display production date market research company, it had said the display will start production in July this year (note that monitor the production date rather than the production of iPad mini date). Later, a variety of reports that this monitor into the production date postponed to the third quarter of this year, and now have said DisplaySearch and Citi Research iPad mini production date may have to be postponed.
in the end is what causes of the supplier repeatedly postponed display production date? The answer is that this display size and pixel requirements into a “no man’s land”, there is no one vendor has obvious advantages in terms of technology, there are various tangled. iPad Mmini 2 body is too thin, even thinner than the iPhone 5, and its pixel requirements are extremely high, which provides manufacturers mass production brought great challenges.
this Apple is also facing some tough choices, the following is a headache for Apple currently several aspects:
LTP: This technique has been used for 4-inch screen of the iPhone 5, but for 7.9 inches large screen iPad mini on current technology seems impractical. Manufacturer: Japan Display Co., Ltd. (Japan Petroleum Institute).
Oxide: also known as IGZO technology, according to DisplaySearch and IHS iSuppli reports of view, in accordance with the requirements of apple production point of view, this is also a great challenge. Manufacturer: Sharp.
Amorphous: Although this technology is widely used in a variety of devices such as the iPad 3 and iPad 4, but for such a thin iPad mini 2 is not necessarily suitable. Manufacturer: LG Display Corporation and other
“display production date” is not “flat production date”: IHS iSuppli said the mass production date display at least until the fourth quarter. According to tradition, Apple will release the monitor before mass production iPad mini, but according to the current situation, it would be a great adventure. Important: Monitor commissioning date subject, but flat commissioning date may be put into one to monitor two quarters to proceed.
