The rumor mill for Apple’s iPad 3 seems to be gearing up, with a new DigiTimes report that the company will adopt IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) flat panels for the next-generation tablet. “Starting with the new iPads, Apple will utilize IGZO panels from Sharp in order to upgrade the display resolution of the new tablets to full HD level,” wrote the publication Dec. 30, quoting unnamed sources in Apple’s supply chain. “To enter the supply chain of iPads, Sharp has switched some of its capacity for large-size panels to the production of small-size panels for smartphones and tablet PCs.” Whether that report turns out to be correct—if the iPad has proven anything over the past two years, it’s that any prerelease rumors should be taken with a veritable dump-truck’s worth of salt—rumors about the iPad have certainly picked up in recent weeks.
