iPad 3 with Retina Display seemed like a dream in March, but as we approach the fall of 2011, more and more information is beginning to appear indicating that the future tablet from Apple will have a retina screen. A publication from South Korea announced today that Apple could produce an iPad 3 tablet with a screen that has a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels and aspect ratio 4:3. The new screen will allow you to view full HD content on tablets and it is possible that Apple will be the first company in the world to launch a tablet with a full HD screen.
Apple's upcoming iPad 3 will feature an improved display to support quad extended graphics (QXGA), a display resolution of 2048×1536 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio to provide a full high definition (HD) viewing experience. The imminent deals would ensure that Samsung and LG continue to be the biggest providers of flat screens to Apple for the foreseeable future. Samsung and LG are two of the few LCD makers that are at ease with highly-advanced LCD screens. Apple has started quality testing Samsung and LG's LCDs at one of its laboratories in China. Samsung and LG were required to produce screens with better picture quality and density, according to sources, who anticipate the testing process will be completed during the third quarter.
The Korea Times claim that Samsung and LG have already sent screens with a resolution of 2048×1536 pixels to the Apple laboratories where the components will be tested to see if it is appropriate to implement in the iPad tablet. Apple's tests should end in the third quarter of 2011 when Apple will decide whether the new screens will finally arrive in the tablet or not. Those from Samsung and LG use new technologies to reduce the number of pixels per inch of the screens, but the models now sent to Apple have only 280 pixels per inch, far below the Retina Display limit.
An iPad 3 tablet with Retina screen would once again change the rules of the game as the iPhone 4 did last year and will keep Apple's tablet in the top of consumer preferences.
