A report from Chinese site DoNews (Google Translation) claims that AU Optronics has a Retina-resolution display in the works for the next generation of the iPad mini.
A separate report from MENAFN claims that AU Optronics will be adopting indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) and Gate IC on array (GOA) technologies in order to reach the Retina resolution in a thin design required for the iPad mini.
It is said that ultrahigh resolution can not be developed without the technology of indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO), and the technology of Gate IC on array (GOA) is also indispensable since the next-generation iPad Mini will have an ultra-narrow frame.
The GOA technology is said to help save the room of ICs on the rim, thus narrowing the frame of the screen to the largest extent possible.
In other iPad mini reports, AUO claims that it has solved the problems of their low yield rates for the current screen, and that there would be no light leakage as some users have experienced. The company say they’ll be shipping the screens in large scale during the fourth quarter.
