A recent visit to Korea by Apple’s current CEO, Tim Cook, raises a notion of a cooperation between Samsung and Apple. Industry sources reported that Cook discussed incorporating Samsung’s AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) display for Apple’s tablet PCs while visiting South Korea. Apple’s current lineup (iPad 1 and 2) have liquid crystal displays. Their current supplier for the iPad’s display is LG Display.

A source reported to The Korea Herald on the basis of anonymity:

Samsung’s AMOLED technology has not been used for their own tablet PCs however is being implemented on the Galaxy S 2 smartphones. The company is debating using the AMOLED technology with their second generation tablets.

Despite all this information, a Samsung Mobile Display spokesperson denies hearing of any such negotiations with Apple.

More so then just the technology itself, Apple’s move to redesign the display could mean a new iPad (iPad 3) in the near future.
