AUO filed a lawsuit against Samsung and three of its customers over LCD and OLED patents. AUO claims that Samsung's various LCD and OLED products, including LCD devices used in TV, monitors, notebooks and OLED devices used in mobile phones, infringe AUO's patented technologies. This lawsuit is a retaliatory action against Samsung's own lawsuit against AUO over LCD patents filed earlier this month.
Interestingly, in January 2006 the two companies signed a broad patent cross-license agreement - that covers patents in the area of TFT-LCD and OLED.
