Apple’s manufacturing partners are running into a few speed bumps creating the new high-resolution Retina Display for the iPad 3, <em>CNET</em> reported recently. LG CEO Young Soo Kwon <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/07/22/retina-display-coming-to-apples-next-ipad-according-to-lg-display-ceo/">confirmed</a> that his company, which also builds the Retina Display on the iPhone 4 and 4S, is working on the next-generation iPad 3 screens. <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/23/lg-samsung-and-sharp-to-provide-ipad-3-retina-display/">Samsung and Sharp</a> are also allegedly behind the development. However, <em>CNET </em>said that mass manufacturing a display with a 2,048 x 1,536-pixel resolution, twice the pixel density of the current iPad 2, has been a struggle. “It’s not a question of just making one,” a source said. “That, of course can be done. The challenge is making lots of them. This is a quantum leap in pixel density. This hasn’t been done before.” In August, a report surfaced that suggested Apple had <a href="http://www.bgr.com/2011/08/16/apple-bumps-ipad-3-launch-to-2012-over-display-issues-report-claims/">delayed the iPad 3 due to display issues</a>. <em>CNET</em> said the companies have 1,600 x 1,200-pixel resolution screens prepared as a back-up in case the Retina Display can’t be mass produced in time. <span id="more-109989"></span>
