Shipments
of the screens would start in August, Sharp President Takashi Okuda told
reporters after releasing its quarterly earnings, but declined to give a
specific date.
Apple
is widely believed to launch the latest version of its iPhone on September 12.
This phone is crucial for the company as it seeks to close the gap between it
and Samsung which has taken a smart lead in the smartphone market.
The
iPhone maker will be looking to make up for lost ground with the new phone,
that is supposed to be a much improved version of the existing iPhone 4S.
The
screens for the new phone at 4 inches are expected to be much larger than the
existing ones, according to images of the screen which have been leaked.
Incidentally Samsung's new Galaxy phones have a 4.8 inch screen.
