“Though there have been rumors claiming that Sharp’s IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) technology did not make the cut for the iPad 3, Charles Annis, a Kyoto, Japan-based analyst at DisplaySearch, thinks Sharp still has a good shot at the iPad 3,” Crothers reports. “The iPad 3 is expected to sport a 9.7-inch 2048×1536 resolution LCD, a much higher resolution than the iPad 2′s 1024-by-768 panel.”
Criothers reports, “[Annis says], ‘There’s not a single commercial IGZO FPD [flat-panel display] available right now. And if Apple does start accepting them for the iPad 3 and starts selling then in April, that would be a world’s first and we do think that’s likely to happen. Our thinking [for the release date of the iPad 3] is probably around April.’”
