The information comes courtesy of Japanese newspaper Nikkan (via Google Translate), who writes that the purported agreement will have Sharp producing p-Si LCD displays for the iPhone maker — not OLED as previous rumors have suggested.
The benefits of p-Si LCD (poly-silicon LCD displays) displays include higher aperture ratios, better durability, and fewer connecting pins — the screens are also said to be thinner and lighter than the current LCD screen employed by the iPhone 4. The report states that the new screens will be made at Sharp’s “Kameyama Plant No. 1.†No word on the size or pixel density of the new screens, but just give it time… it is iPhone rumor season after all.
