Latest iPad undergoes backlight revisions
Apple is making revisions to the New iPad's backlight module by using a one LED structure as used in Apple's second-generation iPad instead of a two LED one that the current version has,according to industry sources.
The extra LED is reportedly adding to overheating and that using one LED will help solve overheating issues since more backlights along with more power to heat those backlights is causing overheating.
Sources noted that the one LED backlight module,however,will not affect luminosity and clarity of Apple's Retina Display.
Sources also noted that the latest iPad's battery is being improved to also tackle the overheating issue.As a result,the battery and backlighting revisions will cause the latest iPad to be similar in weight and thickness as Apple's second-generation iPad,added sources.
The upgraded iPad is also said to feature indium gallium zinc oxide(IGZO)panel technology to allow the device to feature an even thinner design and longer battery life,reported the Chinese-language Apple Daily,citing sources from market watchers.The Apple Daily also said that panel supply will be shifted from Samsung to Sharp.
Sources are speculating that the revisions will be a selling point when the model comes out around the holiday season.
