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.
