Another Touchscreen Supplier Added to iPad 2 Production

In an attempt to meet continued demand for iPad 2, Apple has added another touchscreen manufacturer to its list of component suppliers. Chimei Innolux Corp. will be the third touchscreen producer to supply iPad 2 touchscreens for Apple. TPK Holding Corp. and Wintek Corp. are the other two.

This new partnership means Apple is solidifying the relationship with its overseas manufacturing partner Foxconn Technology Group as Chimei Innolux Corp. is an affiliate of Foxconn.

Chimei is providing screens as well as touch sensors for iPad 2 and expects to start shipping components next month, according to DigiTimes.

This announcement of Apple’s latest partnership comes on the heels of news about Apple testing LED backlights from a new source, Everlight Electronics.

2011 is expected to be a huge success for iPad 2 with shipments possibly reaching up to 45 million. Evidence of that can already be seen as high demand for the new tablet has been non-stop since its launch on March 11. Retail chains selling iPad 2 continue to have trouble keeping it in stock. ATT.com will ship the device within 10-15 business days and Apple.com will ship it within 2-3 weeks if purchasing online.
