According to an Associated Press report, LG Display Co revealed in a regulatory filing that it has entered into a five-year contract to supply flat panels to Apple. The deal commences this month with LG receiving an $500 million payment from Apple this month. Though Apple has sourced displays from LG before (my rev. A MacBook has a LG-made LCD panel in it), the last similar deal Apple made was with Samsung years ago as it shifted from CRTs to LCDs.
