Apple has started testing Retina Displays from LG and Samsung for the iPad 3, according to the Korea Times.

"Apple's upcoming iPad 3 will feature an improved display to support quad extended graphics (QXGA), a display resolution of 2048×1536 pixels with a 4:3 aspect ratio to provide full high definition (HD) viewing experience,'' said a source close to the talks.

"Apple has traditionally preferred to use the same providers of the same parts for the same device, even as they evolve to different versions. I don't see any fundamental change to that approach.''

Another source says that Apple will increase the pixel density of the display to over 280 pixels-per-inch and predicts that CMI will see some smaller orders.

The displays are reportedly being tested at a laboratory in China. Its anticipated that the testing process will be completed during the third quarter.
