The screen of the new iPad would use more energy than that of the iPad 2, because the tablet, more than double the number of led backlights would have. Also would Apple it may be difficult to get enough displays to secure.
That sets research company for the displaymarkt DisplaySearch on his blog. The 9,7″-display of the third-generation iPad, which has a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels and thus has a density of 264 pixels per inch, has more leds for the backlight needed because of the increased pixel density and the narrower become the spacing between the pixels. The tablet would, according to the marktvorser at least twice the number of backlighting leds have to offer compared to its predecessor, there are 36 numbered. Even though Apple have opted for a more economical type of led, the total power consumption of the retina display are significantly higher.
According to DisplaySearch, the increase of the number of leds one of the explanations why the new iPad is equipped with a battery with a larger capacity. Another reason would be the more powerful processor, the dual-core A5X soc. One of the consequences of this design scope is that the tablet with a weight of 652 grams to approximately 50 grams heavier than its predecessor. However, Apple promises that the tablet with a full battery is approximately ten hours can be used.
The weblog is the question of whether Apple in the coming months, enough displays you will receive from its suppliers to meet the demand. Apple’s so-called ‘retina displays’ from the three manufacturers come: Sharp, Samsung and LG Display. Both Samsung as LG Display in the development of the display using a-si tft technology, while Sharp, are new production lines for igzo-tft’s bet or opting for a-si tft-display. Both of these techniques would be complex and may, therefore, be possible for delays to ensure if the production capacity to quickly increase must be to meet the demand. It also enables an analyst Richard Shim from DisplaySearch that some suppliers are likely to use fringe field switching, or ffs, instead of the in-plane switching, or ips. Ffs is generally as slightly better than ips.
