touchscreen panels, according to Hsiung Hui, executive vice president of AUO.

touchscreen panel technology is also to be used for the Apple iPhone, so the segment has become very popular, Hui noted.
The Chinese-language Economic Daily News (EDN) indicated that a related solution from AUO will hit the market in the second half of 2007, adding that Apple recently purchased iPhone panels from Germany-based Balda, with major Taiwan-based panel makers such as AUO and Innolux Display striving to become secondary panel suppliers.
Balda produces plastic components for globally leading mobile phone producers: Alcatel, Motorola, Nokia, Siemens and Sony Ericsson, according to the company.
With the launch of iPhone approaching, various market speculations have circulated regarding the major and minor suppliers of panels for the product.
Early this May, Hsing C Tuan, president of Innolux, was quoted by EDN in saying it has landed orders for iPhone panels and will ship smartphone use panels in great volume.
Later on, sources at panel makers said the major suppliers for iPhone panels may be two Japan-based players while an unspecified Taiwan-based company may be a secondary source for the panels. The sources added iPhone will likely adopt low-temperature poly-silicon (LTPS) panels since the technology features a more flexible circuit design; AUO and TPO Displays are the only two Taiwan-based panel makers producing LTPS panels currently.
Apple will ship four million iPhones this year and 12 million in 2008, according to a recently-released report from Merrill Lynch. The report indicates monthly shipments of the product will initially total 200,000-300,000 and ramp to about one million by year-end.
The global
