Second-gen 15.2" TFT coming in '03

The supplier of PowerBook displays is said to prepping a revised wide-screen display
Taiwan's Economic Daily News reports that AU Optronics, the supplier of the 15.2-inch
LCDs used in Apple's PowerBook line of pro portables, is prepping a second-generation
version of the displays for release in the second quarter of next year. Details
relating to brightness resolution, power usage and other features likely to see
improvement were not listed in the article.
However, according to a company press release, an upcoming model with 15.2-inch WSXGA
panel with wide view angle and high brightness (200 nits), and a 14.1-inch XGA module
of light weight (385g), ultra-thin design (4.8 mm thickness) and high brightness (200
nits) was displayed at a recent trade show in Japan.
AU currently supplies Apple with over 10,000 15.2-inch per month.
Editor's note: With the recent CPU-bump upgrade of the PowerBook, a more
thorough-going update is due in the first half of '03.
