Samsung Display Co., Ltd. is a South Korean manufacturer of electronic displays headquartered in Yongin, Gyeonggi Province. Spun off from Samsung Electronics on April 1, 2012, it operates as a subsidiary of Samsung Electronics, which holds an 84.8% stake in the company. Samsung Display is a major global supplier in the display market, reporting revenue of approximately $25.98 billion in 2022 and employing over 21,000 people as of early 2026.
The company is a leading producer of Organic Light-Emitting Diode (OLED) and Quantum Dot OLED (QD-OLED) panels. It ended its manufacturing of Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) panels in June 2022 to focus solely on OLED technologies. Samsung Display's products are used in a wide range of consumer and automotive applications, including smartphones, televisions, laptops, computer monitors, smartwatches, and virtual reality headsets. The company is known for mass-producing and commercializing foldable displays and is developing next-generation technologies like rollable and slidable panels.
Based on the provided data, Samsung Display is an operating company that actively engages in patent litigation. The single tracked case lists it as a defendant in a proceeding initiated by a direct competitor, BOE Technology Group Co., Ltd., before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's Patent Trial and Appeal Board.
This case was part of a broader, multi-year global patent dispute between the two display manufacturing giants. Starting in 2022, Samsung Display and BOE filed multiple patent infringement lawsuits and trade-secret misappropriation complaints against each other in U.S. federal courts and before the International Trade Commission (ITC). The disputes centered on key OLED technologies. In November 2025, the companies reached a global settlement, agreeing to terminate all pending litigation and withdraw their respective complaints. As part of the settlement, BOE reportedly agreed to license Samsung Display's OLED intellectual property and pay royalties.
