ʻO ka ʻoihana panel ka mea hōʻailona o ka ʻoihana ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe o Kina, ʻoi aku ka nui o nā panela LCD Korea i loko o hoʻokahi mau makahiki he ʻumi a ke hoʻomaka nei i kahi hoʻouka kaua ma ka mākeke panel OLED, e kau ana i ke koʻikoʻi nui i nā panela Korea. Ma waena o ka hoʻokūkū mākeke maikaʻi ʻole, hoʻāʻo ʻo Samsung e hoʻopaʻa i nā panela Kina me nā patent, e kū wale ana i kahi counterattack mai nā mea hana panel Kina.

Ua hoʻomaka nā hui panel China i kā lākou huakaʻi i ka ʻoihana ma ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi laina 3.5th hanauna mai Hyundai i 2003. Ma hope o ʻeono mau makahiki o ka hana paʻakikī, ua hoʻokumu lākou i kahi laina 8.5th hanauna alakaʻi honua ma 2009. I ka makahiki 2017, ua hoʻomaka nā hui ʻo Kina i ka hana nui ma ka honua ʻoi loa ka holomua 10.5th hanauna laina, ma mua o ka papa LCD panel Korea.

I nā makahiki ʻelima e hiki mai ana, ua lanakila loa nā panela Kina i nā panela Korea ma ka mākeke panel LCD. Me ke kūʻai aku ʻana o LG Display i kāna laina 8.5th hope loa i ka makahiki i hala, ua haʻalele loa nā panela Korea mai ka mākeke panel LCD.

I kēia manawa, ke kū nei nā ʻoihana panel Korea i nā luʻi ikaika mai nā panela Kina i ka mākeke panel OLED kiʻekiʻe. Ua paʻa mua ʻo Samsung a me LG Display o Korea i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe ʻelua ma ka mākeke honua no nā panela OLED liʻiliʻi a me ka liʻiliʻi. Ua ʻoi aku ka nui o Samsung ma mua o 90% o ka mākeke ma ka mākeke panel OLED liʻiliʻi a me ka liʻiliʻi no kahi manawa lōʻihi.

Eia nō naʻe, mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana o BOE i ka hana ʻana i nā panela OLED ma 2017, ua emi mau ka mākeke o Samsung i ka mākeke panel OLED. I ka makahiki 2022, ua hāʻule ka māhele mākeke o Samsung i ka mākeke panel OLED liʻiliʻi a me waena o ka honua i 56%. Ke hui pū ʻia me ka māhele mākeke o LG Display, ua emi iho ma mua o 70%. I kēia manawa, ua hōʻea ka mākeke o BOE i ka mākeke panel OLED i ka 12%, ma mua o LG Display e lilo i lua-nui loa ma ka honua. ʻElima o nā ʻoihana he ʻumi ma ka mākeke panel OLED honua he mau ʻoihana Kina. 

I kēia makahiki, manaʻo ʻia ʻo BOE e holomua nui i ka mākeke panel OLED. Ua ʻōlelo ʻia e hāʻawi ʻo Apple ma kahi o 70% o nā kauoha panel OLED no ka iPhone 15 haʻahaʻa haʻahaʻa iā BOE. E hoʻonui hou kēia i ka māhele mākeke o BOE i ka mākeke panel OLED honua. 

I kēia manawa ua hoʻomaka ʻo Samsung i kahi hoʻopiʻi patent. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo Samsung iā BOE no ka hoʻopiʻi ʻana i nā patent ʻenehana OLED a ua waiho ʻo ia i kahi hoʻokolokolo hoʻopiʻi hewa me ka International Trade Commission (ITC) ma United States. Manaʻo ka poʻe i loko o ka ʻoihana i ka neʻe ʻana o Samsung e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i nā kauoha iPhone 15 o BOE. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻo Apple ka mea kūʻai nui loa o Samsung, a ʻo BOE ka mea hoʻokūkū nui loa o Samsung. Inā haʻalele ʻo Apple iā BOE ma muli o kēia, e lilo ʻo Samsung i mea pōmaikaʻi nui loa. ʻAʻole i noho wale ʻo BOE a ua hoʻomaka pū ʻo ia i ka hoʻopiʻi patent e kūʻē iā Samsung. Loaʻa iā BOE ka hilinaʻi e hana pēlā.

I ka makahiki 2022, ua helu ʻo BOE i waena o nā ʻoihana he ʻumi kiʻekiʻe e pili ana i nā noi patent PCT a ua helu ʻia i ka ʻewalu ma ke ʻano o nā patent i hāʻawi ʻia ma United States. Ua loaʻa iā ia he 2,725 patent ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻOiai aia kahi ʻokoʻa ma waena o BOE a me Samsung 8,513 patents, ʻo nā patent o BOE ua aneane pili loa i ka ʻenehana hōʻikeʻike, ʻoiai nā patent a Samsung e uhi ana i nā chip storage, CMOS, nā hōʻike, a me nā chip mobile. ʻAʻole pono paha ʻo Samsung e paʻa i kahi pono i nā patent hōʻike.

ʻO ka makemake o BOE e kūʻē i ka hoʻopiʻi patent a Samsung e hōʻike ana i kāna mau pono i ka ʻenehana kumu. E hoʻomaka ana mai ka ʻenehana papa hōʻike kumu nui loa, ua hōʻiliʻili ʻo BOE i nā makahiki o ka ʻike, me nā kumu paʻa a me nā mana ʻenehana ikaika, hāʻawi iā ia i ka hilinaʻi nui e mālama i nā hoʻopiʻi patent a Samsung.

I kēia manawa, ke kū nei ʻo Samsung i nā manawa paʻakikī. ʻO kāna waiwai waiwai ma ka hapaha mua o kēia makahiki ua hāʻule i ka 96%. ʻO kāna TV, kelepona paʻalima, ka puʻupuʻu waihona, a me nā ʻoihana panel ke alo nei i ka hoʻokūkū mai nā hoa Kina. I ke alo o ka hoʻokūkū kūʻai maikaʻi ʻole, ua ʻoluʻolu ʻo Samsung i ka hoʻopiʻi patent, me he mea lā ua hiki i kahi o ka desperation. I kēia manawa, hōʻike ʻo BOE i kahi manawa ulu, e hopu mau ana i ka māhele mākeke o Samsung. Ma kēia kaua ʻana ma waena o nā pilikua ʻelua, ʻo wai ka mea lanakila loa?
