Rumour has it that Sony is set to be one of the manufacturers to make the next-gen, bleeding-edge in-cell displays that are reportedly going to be used in the brand-spanking new iPhone. Production of these displays is set to occur near the end of May, alongside four other companies.
Sony will be joining other Japanese manufacturers, Sharp Corp and Toshiba Mobile Display, alongside South Korean natives LG Display Co, in a massive effort to kit out Apple with enough display panels for a rumoured fall launch, which would be in line with past releases.
The in-cell technology utilised allows for even thinner smartphones because of the embedded touch sensors in the LCD itself, rather than two components stacked on top of each other. As the technology is quite complicated, and the average fabrication yield is fairly low, Apple have been forced to source components from a various amount of suppliers for their next phone to keep up supply and demand.

Sony makes LCD screens? It’s only a few months that they sold their share of S-LCD to Samsung… How did they manage to do the R&D for the new screens and build an entire production line to support Apple demand?
Does anybody else the screen of the iPhone is at it’s optimum size? It’s what helps to set it apart from all the Androids, and it means that I can reach every part of the screen with my thumb.
I can reach every bit of my 4.2 inch screen perfectly fine on my phone.
Yes, but with the iPhone, they’ll most likely end up with the same aspect ratio, in order to make things easier for devs. This means that it’ll be more work to reach. If that happens, I’m getting the 4S for my upgrade. Still better than my 3G though.
Since when Sony stared producing LCD? They never produced their own LCD display. The S-LCD was a joint venture where Samsung did all the work.
Even if they are producing LCDs who provided the licence since Sony doesn’t any LCD Mode patents
