LG Display said Thursday that it filed a lawsuit against Samsung Display for infringing on its liquid-crystal display patent for the Galaxy Tab 10.1.
LG asked the Seoul Central District Court to order Samsung to immediately stop producing and selling the firm’s 10.1-inch tablet PC. It also requested that Samsung must pay 1 billion won every day if it choose not to follow its demand.
The filing of the suit comes as LG claims that the display technology used for the building of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 infringes on the company’s In-Plane Switching technology.
In response, Samsung said it will look into the complaint filed by its rival and take legal countermeasures if it finds unreasonable content, its company official said.
