Apple poaches LG OLED expert? According to a new report, Apple has poached an OLED expert from LG.
The report says Apple has hired James (Jueng-Gil) Lee, previously of Samsung, Cambridge Display Technology and most recently LG.

LG has him listed as a Research Fellow for the company's OLED Development Center. Lee's recent project was to help build a printed AMOLED television.

Of course, if the hire is confirmed, it still does not mean that Apple is working on any HDTV, although it certainly leads some credence. Apple may also be looking to be less dependent on third parties for display panels.

LG makes some very high quality stuff, especially their Blu-ray/DVD burners or monitors.

I wonder what Apple is up to with this hiring.

Well, everyone will find out eventually.
