Already reeling from legal battles with Apple, Samsung is the target of yet another patent lawsuit.
LG Display said today that it has filed a patent infringement suit against the handset maker, alleging that Samsung violated seven of its OLED (organic light-emitting diode) patents.
The lawsuit specifically claims that Samsung infringed on the design of LG's OLED panels, driver circuitry and device design, reported the Wall Street Journal. LG is looking for an unspecified amount in damages and a permanent injunction of five infringing products, including the Galaxy S3 phone, the Galaxy Tab 7.7 tablet, and the Galaxy Note "phablet."
"The company filed a damage suit (against Samsung) to protect its indigenous technologies that took an enormous amount of money and people to develop over a long period of time," an LG official announced at a press conference, according to the Yonhap News Agency.
OLED displays are thinner, lighter, and brigher than traditional LCD displays, giving them an advantage in mobile phones and tablets. Headquartered in Korea, LG and Samsung are top manufacturers of AMOLED displays.
