We covered iFixit’s Retina Display teardown this morning, but the report left out one very important detail: Who makes the display? There had been some discussion by DisplayMate’s Raymond Soneira on whether Sharp’s IGZO display technology was used:

Apple often sources more than one company for its parts, so other Pro Retina displays could be manufactured by Samsung, or even Sharp with the IGZO, but this early model was using an LG display.
