Apple Reportedly Causes Shortage of 10.1-inch LCD, OLED Displays

TG Daily is reporting that Asian suppliers of 10.1-inch multi-touch LCD and OLED components have said that displays are in short supply due to Apple purchasing up huge amounts of stock.

"We were designing a product for a customer and we needed 10 inch screens, but we've been trying for months and can't get one from any of the Asian suppliers," an anonymous designer for a firm wishing to remain nameless told TG Daily.

TG Daily's source also stated that the displays Apple had bought were headed for a tablet.

TG Daily refers to the poor supply of "10.1-inch multi-touch display LCD and OLED screens", it should be noted that the multi-touch panel, LCD display and OLED display are all separate components and in the case of the iPhone supplied by separate suppliers (minus OLED of course).
