Samsung Display sues China's BOE in the US for "OLED patent infringement"

Four OLED Patents Used Since iPhone 12
Engaged in Legal Battle with BOE Since Last May

Samsung Display has filed a lawsuit against Chinese display company BOE for allegedly infringing on its smartphone organic light-emitting diode (OLED) patents.

According to industry sources on the 1st, Samsung Display filed a patent infringement lawsuit against BOE in the Eastern District Court of Texas, USA, on the 26th.

The technologies Samsung Display claims were infringed are four OLED display patents used in all iPhones since the iPhone 12. In the complaint, Samsung Display alleges that BOE is infringing its patents by selling panels identical to those used in the iPhone 12 products in the U.S. market.

This lawsuit is a continuation of the legal battle between Samsung Display and BOE that has been ongoing since last year. In May of last year, Samsung Display sent a protest letter to BOE regarding patent infringement, and in December of the same year, it filed a complaint with the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) against U.S. parts wholesalers, requesting that they stop using parts and panels that infringe its patents. In response, BOE filed a countersuit in May of this year at the Chongqing No. 1 Intermediate People’s Court, alleging patent infringement against Samsung Display’s China subsidiary and Samsung Electronics’ China subsidiary.
