JOLED Files Patent Infringement Lawsuit Against Samsung
JOLED, a Japanese Display, Sony and Panasonic group, has recently filed patent infringement lawsuits against Samsung. The fillings against Samsung Electronics, Samsung Display, and Samsung Electronics' U.S. subsidiary, were filed with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas on June 22. There's a concurrent filling against Samsung's German subsidiary running through the District Court of Mannheim in Germany as well. JOLED claims Samsung has been infringing on JOLED's intelectual property on OLED technology (on which the company holds around 4,000 patents) particularly in Samsung Galaxy handsets that have been sold in the US.
We covered JOLED's entrance in to the OLED market back in December 2018. At the time, the company was entering the small-display market with 21.6" offerings. Meanwhile, the company received a 20 billion yen (around $187 million) cash injection from CSOT, a Chinese display company owned by TCL Corporation. This allowed to company to scale its OLED manufacturing for large display panels; the company announced mass production of TV-bound OLED panels on June 19th.

Also, I hope Samsung lose the lawsuit. They make decent stuff but they have a 20-year history of being assholes. Shady practices, price-fixing, corruption, patent-infringement, IP theft, screwing over consumers, to name just a few things...
Even if Samsung aren't actually guilty in this instance, they need putting in their place by legal bodies as often as possible, IMO.
for something like this 187mn $ isn't that bad.
If Samsung loses, don't be surprised if QLED (LCD on 'roids) Galaxys get manufactured!
Where are the monitors with this OLED display? Also, I feel its quite silly that they are trying to squeeze into the TV bound OLED market. This is currently dominated by LG, and to be honest, and TV sales have been declining/ stagnant.
They know US patent laws are a hellhole, this shit would never fly anywhere else.
they have enough to deal with neighbor vs neighbor crap :D
samsung hasnt provided sony with screens for a while, and im glad.
highest rate of problems, even worse compared to the time they used Sharp.
Hisense is using their panels, but Sharp sued them for something because the quality was worse than what they told them it would be (or something like that).
@bug
was a great idea, but dead on arrival, as no video signal has/had a dedicated yellow channel, meaning it was "made up" rather than native.
without the eco system supporting it, as useful as using a 85 in UHD HDR display to run a 100y old B/W silent movie.
