Chimei Innolux has been unable to successfully produce Retina Display LCDs for the upcoming iPad 3, according to DigiTimes.
CMI has been developing panels trying to meet the iPad 3 specifications, but problems with transmittance and yield rates of the panels have resulted in its failure to receive certification for the iPad, the sources said. CMI began developing IPS panels last year after receiving license from Hitachi in July 2010. The license covers IPS, Super-IPS, Advanced-Super IPS, IPS-Pro, and IPS-Pro-Prolleza.
DigiTimes's sources noted that "the iPad 3's resolution requirement of 2,048x1,536 pixels is also a challenge even for iPad panel regular suppliers such as LG Display (LGD) and Samsung Electronics."
Sharp has also been selected to supply panels for the iPad 3 and CMI could still become a supplier if it can improve its quality to meet Apple's requirements.
