South Korean firm Samsung Display has launched a lawsuit against China's BOE Technology Group for alleged patent infringement, escalating tensions in the global OLED market. The litigation, filed in a U.S. court, marks Samsung's first legal action against its growing Chinese competitor.
According to The Korea Times, Samsung Display filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Chinese electronic component and display manufacturer in the United States. Industry sources relayed that the company claimed that BOE is infringing its organic light emitting diodes (OLED) display technologies for smartphones in the U.S.
The legal action only shows that Samsung Display is determined to take strong measures against companies that copy its works to protect its own technology, especially at this time when display makers in China are also strengthening their presence in the global OLED market.
OLED is the next-generation type of display for LCD, and Chinese makers are slowly gaining a bigger portion of the market as they are selling these screen displays for lower prices. As a result, they are getting larger orders.
In any case, this is said to be the first time that the display unit of Samsung Electronics has brought BOE to court. Thus, this action is being seen as Samsung Display's response to the growing influence of its rival Chinese display maker.
Korea Joongang Daily reported that the complaint was filed at the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas last month, and it is mainly for the infringement of BOE related to four OLED patent technologies of Samsung Display. In the suit, the Korean firm also emphasized the breach on its OLED that is installed on Apple's iPhone 12 as well as its Diamond Pixel technology.
"We have accumulated numerous patents and know-how through decades of investment, research and development, and mass production," the publication quoted Samsung Display's senior vice president, Choi Kwon Young, as saying during a conference call last year. "In order to protect our differentiated technologies and increase their value, we are actively promoting our hard-to-mimic OLED technology to the market. At the same time, we are taking various in-depth measures to recognize the legitimacy of the intellectual property rights accumulated through the efforts of our employees."
