A new report claims display makers LG Display and AU Optronics havepassed certification tests for LCD panels bound for a rumored "iPadmini." Taiwan's The Liberty Times ( Google Translation , via MacOtakara ) reported on Wednesday that the two companies are now preparingshipments of the panels to Apple. The report also claimed Radiant will supply the backlight moduleand Nissha Printing will provide a thin-film sensor to TPK andChimei Innolux. The rumor comes on the heels of an earlier report also out of Taiwan that claimed the rumored device would make useof a "G/F2" thin-film touch technology from Nissha. Author Chen Meiying said that, according to market rumors, theso-called "iPad mini" is expected to come out at the end of thethird quarter or into the fourth quarter of this year. 2012shipment targets were said to be six million units. An increasing number of analysts and anonymous sources have claimedthat Apple is developing a smaller form-factor iPad. For instance,Barclays' Ben A. Reitzes said this week that his research has led him to believe that the company willrelease such a device this fall. Reports have suggested that the new iPad would have a 7.85-inchscreen with a resolution of 1,024 x 768 pixels, the same as thefirst-generation and second-generation iPads. Apple's latest iPadfeatures a Retina Display with double the resolution of itspredecessors. Rumors of an 8-inch iPad have been met with skepticism by some,especially in light of comments made by late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs on an earnings conferencecall in 2010. At the time, Jobs said that the size of smallerform-factor tablets wasn't "sufficient to create great tabletapps." Daring Fireball's John Gruber has said a 7.85-inch display with the 1,024 x 768 resolution would be"usable." After his sources told him that Apple was "nodding" withsuch a device in its labs, Gruber performed an informal test bytaking screenshots of an iPad and then viewing them in landscapemode. "There are a couple areas where I think text is maybe a little toosmall, but it's not ridiculously small," he said.
