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?

Above all else, the company is the largest LCD maker in Taiwan. Below is a more detailed explanation from the AppAdvice article:

According to rumors in the industry, displays that feature the touch-on-display technology developed by the Taiwanese company have been sent to Cupertino for testing.

Innolux’s touch-on-display technology boasts both thinness and toughness in addition to better touch sensitivity than most other touch panel designs.

Should Apple’s testing of this technology yield favorable results, Innolux is likely to become a key part in the iDevice maker’s supply chain.
