Makampani opanga mapanelo ndi chizindikiro cha makampani apamwamba aku China, akuposa ma panel a LCD aku Korea m'zaka zoposa khumi zokha ndipo tsopano akuyambitsa kuukira msika wa mapanelo a OLED, zomwe zikuika mphamvu yaikulu pa mapanelo aku Korea. Pakati pa mpikisano wosasangalatsa pamsika, Samsung ikuyesera kulunjika mapanelo aku China omwe ali ndi ma patent, koma ikukumana ndi kuukira kuchokera kwa opanga mapanelo aku China.

Makampani opanga mapanelo aku China adayamba ulendo wawo mumakampaniwa mwa kugula mzere wa mibadwo ya 3.5 kuchokera ku Hyundai mu 2003. Pambuyo pa zaka zisanu ndi chimodzi akugwira ntchito mwakhama, adakhazikitsa mzere wa mibadwo ya 8.5 wotsogola padziko lonse lapansi mu 2009. Mu 2017, makampani opanga mapanelo aku China adayamba kupanga zinthu zambiri pamzere wapamwamba kwambiri wa mibadwo ya 10.5 padziko lonse lapansi, kupitirira mapanelo aku Korea pamsika wa mapanelo a LCD.

M'zaka zisanu zotsatira, ma panel aku China adagonjetsa kwathunthu ma panel aku Korea pamsika wa ma panel a LCD. Chifukwa cha kugulitsa kwa LG Display mzere wake wa 8.5 womaliza chaka chatha, ma panel aku Korea achoka kwathunthu pamsika wa ma panel a LCD.

Tsopano, makampani opanga mapanelo aku Korea akukumana ndi mavuto aakulu ochokera ku mapanelo aku China pamsika wapamwamba kwambiri wa mapanelo a OLED. Samsung ndi LG Display of Korea kale zinali ndi maudindo awiri apamwamba pamsika wapadziko lonse wa mapanelo ang'onoang'ono ndi apakatikati a OLED. Makamaka Samsung, inali ndi gawo la msika loposa 90% pamsika wa mapanelo ang'onoang'ono ndi apakatikati a OLED kwa nthawi yayitali.

Komabe, kuyambira pamene BOE inayamba kupanga ma OLED panels mu 2017, gawo la msika la Samsung pamsika wa ma OLED panels lakhala likutsika mosalekeza. Pofika mu 2022, gawo la msika la Samsung pamsika wa ma OLED panels ang'onoang'ono ndi apakatikati linatsika kufika pa 56%. Likaphatikizidwa ndi gawo la msika la LG Display, linali lochepera 70%. Pakadali pano, gawo la msika la BOE pamsika wa ma OLED panels linafika pa 12%, kupitirira LG Display kukhala yachiwiri pakukula padziko lonse lapansi. Makampani asanu mwa khumi apamwamba pamsika wa ma OLED panels padziko lonse lapansi ndi mabizinesi aku China. 

Chaka chino, BOE ikuyembekezeka kupita patsogolo kwambiri pamsika wa ma panel a OLED. Pali mphekesera zoti Apple ipereka pafupifupi 70% ya maoda a ma panel a OLED a iPhone 15 otsika mtengo ku BOE. Izi ziwonjezeranso gawo la msika wa BOE pamsika wapadziko lonse wa ma panel a OLED. 

Ndi nthawi imeneyi pomwe Samsung idayambitsa mlandu wa patent. Samsung ikuimba mlandu BOE kuti ikuphwanya ma patent aukadaulo a OLED ndipo yapereka kafukufuku wokhudza kuphwanya ma patent ku International Trade Commission (ITC) ku United States. Anthu amkati mwa makampani amakhulupirira kuti zomwe Samsung yachitazi cholinga chake ndi kuwononga maoda a BOE a iPhone 15. Kupatula apo, Apple ndiye kasitomala wamkulu wa Samsung, ndipo BOE ndiye mpikisano waukulu wa Samsung. Ngati Apple ikasiya BOE chifukwa cha izi, Samsung idzakhala wopindula kwambiri. BOE sinangokhala chete ndipo yayambitsanso milandu ya patent motsutsana ndi Samsung. BOE ili ndi chidaliro chochita zimenezo.

Mu 2022, BOE inali m'gulu la makampani khumi apamwamba pankhani ya ma patent a PCT ndipo inali pa nambala 8 pankhani ya ma patent omwe aperekedwa ku United States. Yapeza ma patent 2,725 ku United States. Ngakhale kuti pali kusiyana pakati pa BOE ndi ma patent 8,513 a Samsung, ma patent a BOE pafupifupi amayang'ana kwambiri ukadaulo wowonetsera, pomwe ma patent a Samsung amaphimba ma chips osungira, CMOS, ma display, ndi ma chips oyenda. Samsung singakhale ndi mwayi wopeza ma patent owonetsera.

Kufunitsitsa kwa BOE kuthana ndi milandu ya patent ya Samsung kukuwonetsa ubwino wake muukadaulo waukulu. Kuyambira paukadaulo wofunikira kwambiri wa panel yowonetsera, BOE yakhala ikusonkhanitsa zaka zambiri, yokhala ndi maziko olimba komanso luso lamphamvu laukadaulo, zomwe zimaipatsa chidaliro chokwanira chothana ndi milandu ya patent ya Samsung.

Pakadali pano, Samsung ikukumana ndi mavuto. Phindu lake lonse mu kotala yoyamba ya chaka chino latsika ndi 96%. Ma TV, mafoni, malo osungira zinthu, ndi mabizinesi ake onse akukumana ndi mpikisano kuchokera kwa anzawo aku China. Polimbana ndi mpikisano wosasangalatsa pamsika, Samsung mosafuna imagwiritsa ntchito milandu ya patent, zomwe zikuwoneka kuti zafika povuta kwambiri. Pakadali pano, BOE ikuwonetsa kutukuka, ikutenga gawo la msika wa Samsung nthawi zonse. Pankhondo iyi pakati pa zimphona ziwirizi, ndani adzapambana?
