Update: Toshiba denies the rumors about Apple's investment in the new plant
Toshiba Mobile Display plans to invest around $1.2 billion in a new LCD factory that will make small-sized LTPS LCD displays. Apple will invest some of the money too - this factory will mostly make "Retina" displays for iPhones. The production will start on the 2nd half of 2011.
Apple IPS-LCD vs Super-AMOLED
This is interesting, and probably means that Apple isn't looking to use OLED displays in their products any time soon. I guess earlier rumors of Apple buying all of Samsung's Super-AMOLED capacity for 2011 isn't true...
