LG전자가 내달 독일에서 선보일 예정인 태블릿 G패드의 터치스크린이 애플 아이패드5와 유사할 것으로 보인다.
이번 G패드에 들어가는 GF2 (GF Ditto라고도 불린다) 터치스크린 기술은 LG디스플레이에서 개발했으며, 이미 아이패드 미니에 탑재되었다.
아이패드5의 사양에 대해서는 여전히 소문이 무성하지만, 전문가들의 예상대로라면 동일한 GF2 터치스크린이 사용될 것으로 보인다.
GF2는 디바이스 두께와 크기를 획기적으로 줄일 수 있는 기술로, 애플사가 세계 최초로 양산에 성공한 기술로도 잘 알려져 있다.
9월초로 예정된 IFA전에서 첫 선을 보일 것으로 예상되는 G패드는 8.3인치 화면으로, 7.9인치 화면의 아이패드 미니와의 경쟁이 예상되고 있다. 게다가 애플의 9월의 아이폰 5s와 5c출시 이후 출시될 것으로 보이는 아이패드 미니2 역시 비슷한 사양일 경우 경쟁은 더욱 치열해질 수 있다.
G패드 카메라모듈의 경우 LG이노텍에서 생산하며, 지난번 옵티머스 패드와 동일한 화소수로 알려졌다. 전면에는 200만화소, 그리고 후면에는 500만 화소가 각각 탑재될 예정이다.
이번에 출시되는 G패드는 코리아 헤럴드 취재결과 500대 정도를 한국 평택 혹은 중국의 옌타이 공장에서 생산할 예정이며 월 100,000만대 판매를 목표로 하고 있다.

LG G Pad to offer same touchscreen as iPad 5
LG Electronics will be using the same touchscreen technology for its upcoming tablet, tentatively named the G Pad, which will be unveiled at IFA next month, according to industry sources on Sunday.
Manufactured by LG Display, the 8.3-inch panel for the G Pad will feature the latest GF Ditto technology, also known as GF2 touch-screen technology. It will be the first time LG Display has independently developed and applied the technology, the sources said, without the help of affiliate LG Innotek, which also possesses panel-making technology.
The GF2 technology, already applied to Apple‘s iPad mini, is widely reported to be installed in the upcoming iPad 5.
First mass-produced by Apple, GF2 is lauded for effectively reducing the size and width of devices.
The camera for the G Pad is being manufactured by LG Innotek, though quality is unlikely to be high.
“(LG) is betting that picture taking will be done on the latest G2, which has state-of-the-art blur-free features such as an OIS (optical image stabilization) equipped camera,” said one source close to LG.
In fact, there will no upgrades from the previous Optimus G Pad, which will be equipped with the same 2-megapixel front-facing and 5-megapixel rear-facing cameras.
As the world’s third-largest smartphone maker, LG hopes to sell around 1 million of its new tablets next year. Production will be at either Yantai of China or Pyeongtaek in Korea.
Larger panels on LG tablets may also become available, as Heesung Electronics, controlled by LG Group, recently said it has invested 30 billion won ($26.9 million) to build a new factory in Daegu to produce up to a monthly 100,000 GF2 touch-screen panels in the 22-inch segment.
The company, which already produces touch screens in the 10-inch segment, would be the first in the world to churn out large GF2 panels.
