Rumors of a big-screen iPad perked up this week with a report that Apple (AAPL)  hopes to use a new type of touch panel for the jumbo-size tablet. Citing unnamed sources in the supply chain, Korea IT News reported Monday that Apple has requested silver nanowire display samples from LG Display (LPL), Samsung Display and others for the so-called iPad Pro tablet, AppleInsider reported Monday. The silver nanowire touch display would be more flexible than current displays and could enable the deployment of Force Touch technology. Apple uses Force Touch in the Apple Watch to distinguish between different touches like a tap and a press. Apple is rumored to be looking to add Force Touch to its next smartphone, the iPhone 6S, this fall. Scalper1 News
