According to the supply chain sources Apple`s iPhone 6 production will start this May with a 4.7 inch display first ahead of a 5.5 inch version that may be available several months later.
Japan Display Inc, Sharp Corp and South Korea's LG Display Co Ltd have all been
tapped to make the screens.
But due to difficulties with in-cell
production technology for the larger 5.5-inch size, one of the sources
said, a decision was made to begin mass production with the 4.7-inch
version alone.
Production
of 5.5-inch screens is expected to start several months later, with the
possibility of a shift to a film sensor instead of in-cell technology
for that size.
Japan Display will be the first supplier to start
production, at its flagship plant at Mobara, east of Tokyo, as early as May,
the sources said. The others are due to begin output around June.
