Inch screen on IPhone 5S and 5c.
Two supply chain sources said that after the backlight that helped illuminate the screen had to be modified, the display panel production suffered setbacks, and screen assembly was put on hold for some time in June and July.

Inch screen, enter mass production ahead of the 5th. 5-inch version.
But the new configuration is not bright enough, the backlight is sent back to the drawing board to accommodate additional layers, which takes precious time and temporarily idle some screen assembly operations, the source said.
Now production is back on track and suppliers are working on it
Supply chain sources added that this is to make up for the time lost.
Japanese display companies, sharp and South Korea LG Display Co. , Ltd. were selected to produce iPhone 6 screens, sources said.

\"This kind of problem often occurs and the impact on production is negligible.
\"Supply chain sources said earlier that the screen entry of the new iPhone poses a challenge.
Cell technology eliminates the layer in the LCD screen and makes it thinner, which leads to a production delay of the larger 5. 5-inch version.
