With the popularity of iPad 2 on par with that of Cabbage Patch dolls from the 80’s, Apple is looking to add another LED backlight maker to its list of manufacturers used to produce parts for the new tablet. High demand has resulted in limited stock available for purchase at stores across the world, and also long waiting periods to have iPad 2 shipped to you if you buy it online.
Sample of LED backlight products from Everlight Electronics have been delivered to Apple and are currently being tested. Should Apple decide to use another iPad 2 component producer, it’s likely they will meet estimated shipping amounts of 45 million units in 2011.
Everlight Electronics is a relatively large company with 6,400 employees based in Taiwan and offers its LED backlights to other tablet makers.
