LG starts mass production of in-cell touch screens

Engadget reports LG Display has initiated mass-production of in-cell touchscreens. This technology allows LCD and touch sensing to be integrated into one unit instead of two, leading to thinner touchscreens.
Despite the complexity of building touch input directly into a display, the company expects to keep the supply going "without any fail," according to the executive. As to who's making the orders? LG Display isn't naming its customers on the record, and production could be as much for its sister company's phones and tablets as anyone else's. It's hard not to pinpoint Apple as the 800-pound gorilla in the room, however. Apart from Apple representing one of LG Display's biggest existing customers, multiple rumors and component leaks point to an iPhone with an in-cell display being in the works.
