In 2023, Pictiva Displays filed a lawsuit against Samsung Electronics, alleging that Samsung’s Galaxy smartphones, televisions, computers, wearables, and other products incorporate Pictiva’s patents for improving the resolution, brightness, and energy efficiency of OLED displays.

On November 3, 2025, a Texas federal court ruled that Samsung Electronics must pay $191 million for infringing two U.S. patents related to organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology.

Pictiva Displays’ Managing Director said the verdict “validates the strength of Pictiva intellectual property.”

Samsung Electronics stated: “We intend to appeal the verdict related to the two patents. We have already filed a petition to invalidate the relevant patents, which is currently under review by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.”
