The latest Digitimes report claims that Apple will be utilizing SHARP IGZO (indium gallium zinc oxide) flat panels instead of IPS (in-plane switching panels) in its "next-generation mobile display products" such as the iPad 3.
Sharp announced plans in April 2011 to commercialize these new IGZO panels for mass production by 2012. The advantages of the new technology that should allow for lower power consumption and higher resolution displays.
It sounds as if this new technology will allow Apple to avoid adding a second light bar system to the more traditional IPS display that is presently used in the iPad. It may also allow Apple to avoid making the iPad 3 thicker than the current iPad, and should consume less power.
