Sharp to Start Mass Production of iPhone 5S Display Next Month?

Sharp is reportedly set to begin mass production of displays for the next generation iPhone in June, according to a report from Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun via AppleInsider.

Sharp will supposedly be using its Kameyama Plant No. 1 to churn out LCDs bound for the so-called "iPhone 5S," Apple's much-rumored next-generation handset expected to see release in the third quarter, reports Japan's Nikkan Kogyo Shimbun (via Kodawarisan). The Kameyama facility has seen poor utilization rates as Sharp's LCD business waned in 2012, with the plant's use dropping to some 40 percent of its 600-million unit per month maximum capacity.

The report indicates that Japan Display and LG Display have also received orders and have already begun mass production of displays for the new device.
