Samsung files lawsuit against Chinese display supplier BOE, here’s why

Display suppliers Samsung Display and BOE started fighting each other at the beginning of 2023. The US International Trade Commission (ITC) began investigating BOE after Samsung tried to stop wholesalers from commercialising “cloned” OLED panels in the country. These panels were manufactured illegally in China based on stolen Samsung patents.

The dispute between Samsung’s Display unit and Chinese display supplier BOE seems to continue. The South Korea-based tech giant has lodged a new complaint against BOE.

According to news agency Reuters, the complaint alleges that BOE violated “unfair methods of competition” laws.
