Netflix confirms 'Squid Game' season 2

In an unsurprising move, Netflix has confirmed it will bring back its most popular show of all time for a second season. It's unclear when the second batch of Squid Game episodes will hit the streaming service. The award-winning South Korean horror survival show will have its protagonist Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) making a comeback. So will the villain, The Front Man (Lee Byung-hun). Creator Hwang Dong-hyuk promised they would reveal the "boyfriend" of Young-Hee, the giant animatronic doll that monitored competitors during the show's first deadly game, Red Light, Green Light.

While Apple's first-generation mixed reality headset hasn't launched yet, LG Display is reportedly preparing to supply micro OLED display panels for the next-generation model. The company is believed to be ordering deposition equipment for micro-OLED displays from Sunic System. The company supposedly plans to use the equipment to produce the displays for the headset. 

It's believed to be part of the supply chain for the upcoming headset, but it's not expected to supply the main screen. Sony is reportedly supplying that.

It could be a wise move for Apple, given that Sony indirectly competes with Apple thanks to its PlayStation VR headsets.
