LG Display Co., a supplier to Apple Inc., started mass production this month of screens with built-in touch sensors, components speculated to be used in the next version of the iPhone.

“There were a lot of trials and errors as we tried a technology that hadn’t been used,” LG Display Chief Executive Officer Han Sang Beom said yesterday in response to a reporter’s question, without identifying the customer. “We’re all cleared now.” Steve Park, a Seoul-based spokesman for Apple, declined to comment on plans for the next iPhone.
