Samsung Electronics has won a $500 million deal to provide Apple with liquid crystal displays (LCDs) for its upgraded iPads.

Under the deal, Samsung will provide some 8 million LCD panels for Apple’s upcoming tablet computer, sources told The Korea Times, Wednesday.

“Apple asked Samsung to supply 8 million panels,” said a source, asking not to be identified. “There could be more forthcoming.”

Apple’s 9.7-inch retina display and touch screen interface in its iPads are the most expensive components, each costing $80.

Apple is likely to release new versions of its iPad soon, but it will be smaller than those currently being marketed.

Although LG Display, Samsung’s rival, is supplying at least 20 million panels for Apple, the latest Samsung-Apple contract is expected to help strengthen the two firms’ cooperation.

The former earlier developed its new Super PLS technology, which the company says has improved specifications.

A Samsung spokesman declined to comment, while Steve Park, a representative of Apple’s South Korean branch, was not available.

Anticipation surrounding the iPad 2 is growing thanks to the current tablet’s success.

“It’s true that Apple hopes to expand its procurement channels in displays as the current main provider LG Display failed to keep up with an initial order, leading Apple to turn to Samsung,” said another industry executive on condition of anonymity.

Apple is considering downsizing the next iPad to between 7 and 9 inches, though Apple officials had nothing to say.

Media reports say Apple will sell the next iPad from as early as April.

Apple produced 16 million iPads last year and industry officials said the next model will see even bigger annual sales of around 40 million.

“Apple will take up around 75 percent of the global tablet PC market this year on the back of feature-added iPads. With competition for tablets, Samsung Electronics will have better business chances with Apple,” added the executive.



삼성, 애플 차세대 아이패드에 LCD 공급

삼성전자가 미국 애플사와 차세대 아이패드용 LCD 패널을 납품하기로 합의한 것으로 알려졌다.

총 계약규모는 약 5억달러선으로 알려졌으며, 삼성은 곧 지난해 개발 완료한 `슈퍼 PLS’ 기술을 적용한 고해상도 패널 생산을 시작할 예정이다.

익명을 요구한 업계 고위관계자는 ``애플사가 차세대 아이패드용 LCD 패널 약 8백만장을 삼성으로부터 공급받기로 한 것으로 안다’’며 ``계약 규모는 5억달러 선’’이라고 말했다.

이에 대해 삼성전자 관계자는 논평을 거부했으며 애플 코리아 홍보팀 박정훈 부장 역시 이같은 주장에 대해 답하지 않았다.

`슈퍼 PLS’ 기술은 LCD의 측면시인성과 밝기 (투과율) 를 동시에 대폭 향상시켰으며 삼성측은 기존의 IPS을 적용한 LCD 보다 측면시인성은 2배 이상, 밝기는 10% 이상 향상됐다.

이 기술은 전세계 LCD업계에 화질혁명을 불러올 획기적인 기술이라는 것이 회사측의 설명이다.

애플은 9.7인치 아이패드에 LG디스플레이가 개발한 IPS LCD (레티나 디스플레이)를 쓰고 있는 것으로 알려져 있으며, 장 당 가격은 80달러 선인 것으로 파악되고 있다.

이로 인해 애플에 LCD 패널을 납품하려는 업체들 간 경쟁은 더욱 치열해질 전망이다.

일본의 니혼게이자이 신문은 최근 도시바의 자회사인 `도시바모바일디스플레이’가 애플의 투자를 받아 이시카와현에 고해상도 이미지를 구현할 수 있는 폴리실리콘 LCD 생산 공장을 건설할 예정이라고 전한 바 있다.

한편 차세대 아이패드는 이르면 올해 4월 출시될 예정인 것으로 전망된다. 이를 위해 애플사는 대만의 아웃소싱 업체들에게 관련 부품에 대한 물량 공급 협의를 이미 끝마친 것으로 알려졌다.

익명을 요구한 다른 업계 관계자는 ``내년 전체 태블릿PC 시장에서 애플의 점유율이 올해보다 소폭 하락한 75%에 그칠 것’’이라며 ``태블릿PC 시장 선점을 위한 업체들간의 경쟁이 뜨거워지고 있으나 삼성전자에게는 사업확장을 위한 기회’’라고 말했다.
