Faulty screens to blame for lack of iPad 2 in stores

As you already know, the iPad 2 tablets have very big problems with backlight bleeding and it seems that the source of these problems is LG, one of Apple's screen suppliers. It seems that in recent months LG would have delivered several million screens for the iPad 2, but many of them had problems with light leaking, so they were not used, the result being reduced stocks for the iPad 2. Unfortunately, many owners of iPad 2 tablets they have problems with backlight bleeding and one article about the problem you have my tablet here.

Samsung Electronics shipped a total of four million 9.7-inch panels for iPads in the first quarter, outpacing rival LG Display (LGD) as the largest tablet PC panel supplier for Apple, the sources indicated. LGD's iPad panel shipments reached only 3.2 million units in the first quarter.

LGD was forced to reduce its shipments in the first quarter due to the light leakage problem for panels produced at its 6G production lines. The company has reportedly fixed the problem and will resume shipment momentum to Apple in the second quarter, said the sources.

The information comes from Digitimes which reports that the problems from LG occurred in the first 3 months of this year, that is, during the period when the iPad 2 was in production. LG would have solved these problems, so the iPad 2 tablets produced now should not have any problems with light leaking. Unfortunately, if you have a problem with backlight bleeding and try to change the tablet now, it is very possible to receive a new one with the same problem.
