Tablet display panel makers claimed Wednesday that orders for seven-inch tablet displays in November had overtaken those of 9.7-inch displays, which are used almost exclusively in the iPad. The combination of strong Amazon Kindle Fire and Nook Tablet demand was said by the Digitimes contacts to have pushed order up 17 percent month to month. The sources didn't provide targets for December or break down shipments by the individual maker, although Barnes & Noble may have shipped 1.5 million Nooks while rumors have surfaced of five million Kindle Fires shipping in 2011
