Does Apple make the panels for their displays, or do they just buy their panels from some other manufacturer?

Everything Apple "makes" is actually made by someone else. So I can pretty much guarentee that this is no exception.

like AMDzen said, apple doesnt actually "make" the products they sell, their team designs it, copyrights the design (as far as chasis goes), components come from large manufacturers like Hitachi, ATi, nVidia, SiS, Hynix (ram), etc. the production rights are sold to a company (in case of the iBook to Compal).

... which is not unusual. Most laptops on the market (Dell, AW, Hypersonic, HP, heck even Thinkpads) are made this way.
