AUO unable to land orders for new iPad mini, say sources

AUO unable to land orders for new iPad mini, say sources: AU Optronics (AUO), a supplier of panels used in the 7.9-inch iPad mini, is unlikely to land orders for the next-generation iPad mini because Apple will demand Retina-class panels based on oxide TFT technology and AUO is technologically incapable of producing such panels for the time being, according to Taiwan-based supply chain sources.
