SEOUL, Nov. 19 (Korea Bizwire) – Samsung Display Co. has reached a settlement with China’s BOE Technology Group Co. over technology infringement involving organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, ending a nearly three-year dispute in the South Korean company’s favor, sources said Wednesday.
The U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC), which was originally set to deliver a final verdict this week, released an announcement Thursday (U.S. time), saying it is suspending the case involving Samsung Display and BOE.
Although details of the withdrawal was not disclosed, industry watchers view BOE as having reached an agreement with Samsung Display to pay royalties for the South Korean tech giant’s technology.
In December 2022, Samsung Display filed a complaint against BOE for copyright infringement and lodged a separate trade secret violation complaint against the Chinese company in October 2023.
In July, the ITC made a preliminary ruling to ban imports of BOE’s OLED panels into the United States for 14 years and eight months under a “limited exclusion order.”
