"Apple is reportedly close to appointing LG as screen provider for its rumoured iWatch device. Korea Herald claims that LG Display has emerged as a frontrunner to secure the contract to provide OLED panels for the wearable device.  The report states that Apple also held meetings with Samsung&amp;#039;s display arm, only for the negotiations to prove unsuccessful. However, LG is said to be in talks to become a secondary screen supplier for the iWatch, with RiTDisplay rumoured to be Apple&amp;#039;s pick for primary supplier. Apple is yet to officially announce the iWatch, but company CEO Tim Cook recently confirmed that the company will be exploring &amp;quot;new product categories&amp;quot; in 2014. The firm hired Nike Fuelband consultant Jay Blahnik in August to work on an unnamed project, widely tipped to be an iOS-powered smartwatch. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
