This report comes from The China Times, and has been translated to English by AppAdvice for those among us who don’t read Chinese.

As of now, it appears that Apple Inc. has contracted with Chimei Innolux on new display technology.

Why is this necessary, you may ask? On the most recent iPhone 5, Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) is using in-cell screen technology. As noted in the AppAdvice article “this technology, which combines the display and the touch sensor into a single part, has led to certain interference problems.”

Due to these potential interference issues, the Cupertino-based company is looking into using touch panel technology for the next iPhone.

Why has Apple Inc. turned to Innolux?
