Radiant Optoelectronics is looking for more non-Apple customers in 2013 to provide backlighting units (BLUs) due to an expected rise in non-Apple tablet sales, reports “DigiTimes” (http://tinyurl.com/d5obygt) quoting unnamed “industry sources.”
Radiant is currently Apple’s main supplier of backlighting modules for the iPad and iPad mini. Approximately 80% of the company’s shipments were to Apple in 2012 with the rest going to Samsung Electronics and Amazon for use in their tablet products, according to “DigiTimes.” However, Radiant is reportedly expecting to see an increase in non-Apple tablet product demand in 2013, the article adds.
