ʻO ka ʻoihana panela he hōʻailona ia o ka ʻoihana ʻenehana kiʻekiʻe o Kina, e ʻoi aku ana ma mua o nā panela LCD Korea i loko o hoʻokahi ʻumi makahiki a ke hoʻomaka nei i kahi hoʻouka kaua ma ka mākeke panela OLED, e kau ana i ke kaomi nui ma luna o nā panela Korea. I waenakonu o ka hoʻokūkū mākeke maikaʻi ʻole, hoʻāʻo ʻo Samsung e hoʻopaʻa i nā panela Kina me nā palapala hoʻopaʻa, akā e kū ana i kahi hoʻouka kaua mai nā mea hana panela Kina.

Ua hoʻomaka nā ʻoihana panela Kina i kā lākou huakaʻi ma ka ʻoihana ma o ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi laina hanauna 3.5 mai Hyundai i ka makahiki 2003. Ma hope o ʻeono makahiki o ka hana nui, ua hoʻokumu lākou i kahi laina hanauna 8.5 alakaʻi honua i ka makahiki 2009. I ka makahiki 2017, ua hoʻomaka nā ʻoihana panela Kina i ka hana nui ʻana ma ka laina hanauna 10.5 holomua loa o ka honua, e ʻoi aku ana ma mua o nā panela Korea ma ka mākeke panela LCD.

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

I kēia manawa, ke kū nei nā ʻoihana panela Korea i nā pilikia koʻikoʻi mai nā panela Kina ma ka mākeke panela OLED holomua. Ua paʻa mua ʻo Samsung lāua ʻo LG Display o Korea i nā kūlana kiʻekiʻe ʻelua ma ka mākeke honua no nā panela OLED liʻiliʻi a me ka nui. ʻO Samsung, ma ke ʻano kūikawā, he ʻoi aku ma mua o 90% ka māhele mākeke ma ka mākeke panela OLED liʻiliʻi a me ka nui no kekahi manawa lōʻihi.

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

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

ʻO ia ka manawa i hoʻomaka ai ʻo Samsung i kahi hoʻopiʻi palapala Sila Nui. Ua hoʻopiʻi ʻo Samsung iā BOE no ka uhaki ʻana i nā palapala Sila Nui ʻenehana OLED a ua waiho i kahi noiʻi uhaki palapala Sila Nui me ka International Trade Commission (ITC) ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Manaʻo nā poʻe loea o ka ʻoihana ua manaʻo ʻia ka neʻe ʻana o Samsung e hoʻohaʻahaʻa i nā kauoha iPhone 15 a BOE. Ma hope o nā mea a pau, ʻo Apple ka mea kūʻai aku nui loa a Samsung, a ʻo BOE ka mea hoʻokūkū nui loa a Samsung. Inā e 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 i ka hoʻopiʻi palapala Sila Nui e kūʻē iā Samsung. Loaʻa iā BOE ka hilinaʻi e hana pēlā.

I ka makahiki 2022, ua helu ʻia ʻo BOE ma waena o nā ʻoihana he ʻumi kiʻekiʻe ma ke ʻano o nā noi palapala sila PCT a ua helu ʻia ʻo ia ma ka walu ma ke ʻano o nā palapala sila i hāʻawi ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. Ua loaʻa iā ia he 2,725 mau palapala sila ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻOiai aia kahi ʻokoʻa ma waena o BOE a me 8,513 mau palapala sila a Samsung, ua aneane pau ka nānā ʻana o nā palapala sila a BOE i ka ʻenehana hōʻike, ʻoiai ʻo nā palapala sila a Samsung e uhi ana i nā ʻāpana mālama, CMOS, nā hōʻike, a me nā ʻāpana kelepona. ʻAʻole paha e loaʻa iā Samsung kahi pono i nā palapala sila hōʻike.

ʻO ka makemake o BOE e kūʻē i ka hoʻopiʻi palapala Sila Nui a Samsung e hōʻike ana i kona mau pono i ka ʻenehana koʻikoʻi. E hoʻomaka ana mai ka ʻenehana panela hōʻikeʻike koʻikoʻi loa, ua hōʻiliʻili ʻo BOE i nā makahiki o ka ʻike, me nā kumu paʻa a me nā hiki loea ikaika, e hāʻawi ana iā ia i ka hilinaʻi lawa e lawelawe i nā hoʻopiʻi palapala Sila Nui a Samsung.

I kēia manawa, ke kū nei ʻo Samsung i nā manawa paʻakikī. Ua hāʻule kāna waiwai ma ka hapaha mua o kēia makahiki ma 96%. Ke kū nei kāna mau ʻoihana TV, kelepona paʻalima, chip mālama, a me nā panela i ka hoʻokūkū mai nā hoa Kina. I ke alo o ka hoʻokūkū mākeke maikaʻi ʻole, ua hoʻohana ʻo Samsung me ka hoʻokaʻulua i ka hoʻopiʻi patent, me he mea lā e hiki ana i kahi o ka manaʻolana ʻole. I kēia manawa, hōʻike ʻo BOE i kahi holomua holomua, e hopu mau ana i ka māhele mākeke o Samsung. Ma kēia kaua ma waena o nā pilikua ʻelua, ʻo wai ka mea e puka mai ma ke ʻano he lanakila hope loa?
