Leaked photos revealed the Retina Display on iPad 2 very unlikely

As if you need more proof that Retina Display on the iPad 2 is a mathematical improbability at this point in time, 9to5mac brings out what is very likely to be legit pictures of the display panel for the iPad 2 at the same time pounding a nail into the iPad 2 Retina Display rumour.

The picture you see here is what the source claim to be the display panel of the iPad 2′s LCD, fresh off of the assembly lines of China.

Observers report it to be an LG Phillips’ 9.7-inch XGA 1024 x 768 H-IPS panel bearing the part number LP097X02-SLN1. The pane appears to be lighter and somewhat thinner than the one the iPad — 1mm thinner.

You can also see that the bezel is much thinner making it possible to shrink the size of the iPad 2 to some degree.

1024 x 768 is no Retina Display we all know that, but the sighting of the display still beckon questions. Rumour has it that the display on the iPad 2 will feature a state-of-the-art anti-reflective coating to enable better viewing under direct sunlight. Nothing of this nature has been observed in the 9to5mac post, but as always you can expect many more details on the iPad 2 surfacing as we near its unveil date.
