LG have been forced to slow production of slabs for iPad 2 because they would cause problems with light leakage found on some models (see video below). Samsung also have the opportunity to increase its supply of screens for the tablet to the apple. The iPad 2 is thinner thanks, among other things, passing a slab of 0.85 mm for the old model to 0.62 mm.
Many have asked if it would not cause problems. It seems that Samsung panels are free of defect, unlike those of LG. This explains why, according to DigiTimes, the latter did that delivered 3.2 million to Apple, Samsung cons 4 million. The problems involving the two slabs of the iPad would be limited to its production line 6G.
The company would have found a solution and resume a normal cycle of deliveries during the quarter. Nevertheless, this story is a drop more in the vase filled with many problems that Apple meeting with the flagstones LG. Indeed, the 21.5-inch iMac are known for their slab LG LM215WF3 that displays large yellow spots (see "iFixit disassemble the new iMac and found the same screen).
The first iPhone 4 also suffered from yellow bands and to a lesser extent, the first iPad also knew of the defects. It is nevertheless difficult to quantify exactly the number of affected products. We may still wonder why so stubbornly Cupertino to buy from LG. The answer is that in 2009 the two companies have signed a partnership that now seems to be bad for Apple (see "Apple gives $ 500 million to LG).
The report by DigiTimes is interesting because it signals a change in strategy of the manufacturer of the iPad 2 which begins on supplies elsewhere in screen. Indeed, the Mac screens are manufactured by LG, as the Retina Display iPhone 4, the slab of 27-inch Cinema Display screens and iPad 1 and 2.
Apple's strategy is known. He spends very large orders at once to enjoy the lowest prices. It would seem that in this case, the partnership with LG turned against him and if we do not know the exact scope of the problem with LG, it seems important enough to go look elsewhere Cupertino.
