Recently Samsung Display has approached the International Trade Commission (ITC) to request an investigation into the importation of third-party OLED displays by independent repair shops.
In short, Samsung claims that it manufactures AMOLED displays for mobile devices, and that these displays have several patents. But the factories in China (and elsewhere) are churning out similar screens that infringe those patents, according to Samsung. And those screens are often imported by third-party repair companies in the US, which are much cheaper than buying authorized parts directly from Samsung.
Samsung wants the International Trade Commission (ITC) to issue an order preventing the importation of these replacement display parts at the border. It also calls for the named companies to be ordered to stop importing, selling or using the products in question.
Samsung Display is currently the largest maker of mobile OLED panels, Apple is one of its biggest customers. If Samsung wins the case, this will prevent a large number of third-party OLED displays from being imported into the United States. This will have a great impact on many companies in the repair industry, which will hit the reapir industry hard. We will continue to pay attention and do our part for our repair industry and environmental protection.
