The iPad 3′s new rumored 2048×1536 display may be starting production soon in November. CNET’s Brook Crothers got some information from reliable sources about the iPad 3′s 2048×1536 resolution screen.
As previously reported, Samsung and LG will be able to produce the new resolution screen in large numbers.
However, CNET’s source warned that it was a “quantum leap” in density at tablet size and that yields of working displays could be an issue. That reaon may lead Apple to have a 1600×1200 resolution as a fallback.
The closest that iPad display manufacturers like LG Display and Samsung can get is 2048×1536 resolution display, according to the source. That’s a PPI of 264, twice the 132 PPI on the iPad 2.
But whether manufacturers can make them in volumes that Apple demands is the question. “They have production plans for 2,048×1,536 displays. Starting in November. But those are only plans at this point,” said the source, referring to LG and Samsung.
“It’s not a question of making just one. That, of course, can be done. The challenge is making lots of them,” the source said. “This is a quantum leap in pixel density. This hasn’t been done before.”
If manufacturers are not able to hit the volumes necessary for the higher resolution, there is an interim option of 1,600×1,200, according to the source.
The display is also expected to have a brightness of 550 nits. That’s pretty bright, as the typical laptop display panel tops out at about 350 nits.
