Apple to use ITO film on upcoming Apple iPads?

ITO coating |
Meanwhile, as we get closer to next month's expected introduction of the Apple iPad mini, some companies like Radiant Opto-Electronics in Taiwan are feeling the financial pressure from the adjustment in inventory Apple is making in preparation of the launch of the smaller tablet. The firm produces backlight units for the full-sized variant of the iPad. DigiTimes reports industry sources as saying that Apple shipped 29 million tablets in the first half of the year, and ordered 32 million panels. But in Q3, Apple is expected to make adjustments to account for the alleged launch of the Apple iPad mini. And this has hurt companies like Radiant which reported a 15% sequential drop in revenue for July. The company expects revenue to fall 5 to 10% in the current quarter as compared to the prior three month period.

This would just be another thing for Apple to sue Samsung over.

Why doesn't this article mention what the real world benefits of this coating are? Also, if it's currently being used on Samsung handsets why is it a 'big rumor' that it will be used on Apple products? I haven't heard anyone mention the ITO coating on Samsung products.

Because by using this stuff, Apple will be REVOLUTIONIZING the industry again.....just like when they added cut and paste, notifications, left mouse click....so many examples I can't even count them! "EXTREME SARCASM"

I agree Captn3x. I am puzzled by Alan F.'s overt Apple fanboyism in this post. There was no attempt to highlight a point but rather a shill for Apple. The only ITO is used for is as a conductor. It's more expensive to produce but it has a benefit of lasting longer as a conductor. I can't see what marketing Apple can do with this except renaming 'iConductor' and claiming that it makes the iPad the preferred tablet choice of the Risen Jesus.
I do have to give Apple props for their marketing. They do that better than anything. They get millions of people to believe that a 3.5" screen with an aging OS is the latest and greatest in tech. Their new tagline could be, "Apple, Making our Products Better.....Very Incrementally"

I wonder if PA could ever put up an apple article, without the android users having something negative to say... Probably not.

I am loyal to no OS. W/android loosing flash support I will be jumping from OS to OS. I just want unbiased reporting. How about a headline that reads "apple follows Samsung lead in using ITO film technology"? It doesn't make apple less great. Samsung didn't invent the technology.
