Display panel giants BOE Technology Group and Samsung Display have resolved their ongoing active matrix light-emitting diode (AMOLED) technology dispute, agreeing to cease all related investigations and bring a lengthy 35-month legal battle to an end.
The U.S. International Trade Commission was set to deliver a final decision on whether China’s BOE had infringed upon South Korea’s Samsung Display OLED display trade secrets on November 17. This was to mark the conclusion of the initial infringement ruling issued in July. However, both companies jointly requested the commission withdraw the case, which was announced on its website on November 18.
Following extensive negotiations, BOE and Samsung Display submitted a joint petition to suspend their AMOLED technology dispute and to terminate a Section 337 investigation along with other related legal proceedings, according to reports from The Paper yesterday.
The intellectual property clash over OLED technology began in December 2022. After reaching a settlement, the two firms agreed to withdraw all ongoing lawsuits in the U.S. and China, though specific terms of the agreement have not yet been disclosed.
BOE emphasized that any actions deviating from the consensus or misinterpreting the reconciliation details do not fully represent the core value and importance of their collaboration. The company urged all parties to approach the alliance’s key achievements with an objective and reasonable perspective.
Since its founding in 1993, BOE has promoted a culture of win-win competition and cooperation, establishing a comprehensive intellectual property protection system that supports its active participation in global markets and successful partnerships within the industry.
