Latest company news about The industrial game behind the OLED patent war:
2025/07/21
Chinese display enterprises resolutely safeguard their own rights and interests In recent years, South Korea's Samsung Display has launched multiple administrative investigations and lawsuits against its competitors in order to maintain its position in the global OLED market, including the US Patent Section 337 investigation and the trade secret Section 337 investigation. In March 2025, the United States International Trade Commission (ITC) made a final ruling on the 337 investigation of OLED patents initiated by South Korea's Samsung Display, determining that it did not violate the relevant provisions. Not long ago, Samsung filed four patent infringement lawsuits in the US District Court, accusing Chinese display enterprises of hoping to use patent litigation to hinder the development of China's display industry. Since South Korea's Samsung completely withdrew from the liquid crystal display field, OLED flexible displays have become the main source of revenue in its display sector. In the face of the rapid rise of Chinese display enterprises, the so-called "patent infringement" and "trade secret infringement" accusations that have emerged against BOE are essentially all attempts by competitors to curb the development of China's display industry through non-commercial means. Boe also stated that it is actively preparing to file a review with the ITC regarding the initial ruling of the Section 337 investigation on trade secrets initiated by South Korea's Samsung Display, firmly opposes unfair suppression, and will actively safeguard its own rights and interests through legal means. In response to Samsung's continuous escalation of disputes over the past two years, BOE has also taken corresponding countermeasures, including filing multiple patent infringement lawsuits against Samsung in Chinese and US courts. According to industry insiders, in November 2024, the First Intermediate People's Court of Chongqing, China, made a first-instance judgment, determining that Samsung Display's OLED panels infringed upon BOE's patent rights. This year, in response to Samsung's lawsuit in US courts, BOE also filed a patent lawsuit in the United States at the end of May to counter Samsung's suppression and actively safeguard BOE's legitimate rights and interests. At the same time, BOE also stated that it firmly believes that the healthy development of the global technology industry should be based on fair competition and open cooperation. There are no winners in confrontation; only through cooperation can we go far. Boe has always advocated the global development concept of "competition, cooperation and symbiosis" - respecting professional competition in the technology race and pursuing synergy and symbiosis in the industrial ecosystem. The author believes that the external pressure faced by China's display industry precisely confirms the significant position of Chinese technology enterprises in the global market. Any short-term containment measures taken overseas cannot stop the technological innovation and industrial progress of Chinese enterprises. In 2024, BOE, in collaboration with industry partners, jointly launched an initiative, calling on all sectors of the industry to break through the internal competition, continuously enhance user experience through technological upgrading, shift from a "zero-sum game" focusing on price to a "symbiotic integration" focusing on value, open up new technologies, new tracks, and new models, and jointly develop high-tech, high-efficiency, and high-quality new productivity. A true industry leader should be committed to working with partners to expand the market "pie", rather than being confined to the gains and losses of a single territory. Therefore, for the media and the industrial chain, they should view disputes objectively and rationally and not be misled by one-sided information. In response, BOE also stated that the prosperity of the global display industry requires "abandoning zero-sum and jointly building an ecosystem", returning to the essence of business with a professional spirit, and replacing containment measures with a shared mindset to jointly safeguard the sustainable development of the global display industry chain. We firmly believe that only by being strong ourselves can we fear no storms. In the future, BOE will also continue to increase its investment in research and development, deepen collaborative innovation along the industrial chain, and win market respect with more outstanding products and services. The innovation of display technology is a common cause for humanity in pursuit of the ultimate visual experience and should not be fragmented by geographical boundaries or political games. The rise of China's display industry is not a threat but an opportunity. Boe's growth path will also be guided by technological innovation and guided by the principle of competition, cooperation and coexistence, contributing Chinese wisdom to the development of the global display industry.

Latest company news about Intuitive STN LCD Control Interface
2025/07/18
ESEN offers a wide range of standard character LCD modules for customers' applications. You can achieve display with the minimum number of control pins, making it easier to select the MCU. The common Character LCD Modules in the market will add a transfer board to support I2C interface as figure 1 shows, which lead to the increase of LCM thickness, more processes in manufacturing and the lower yield rate. Figure 1: The common Character LCD Module in the market which add a transfer board to support I2C. Figure 2: 1602 character liquid crystal module of ESEN. It supports I2C and SPI interfaces and does not require an additional transmission board. You don't need to add a relay board. Just connect the Arduino Uno development board, and you can directly control the character LCD module using different communication interfaces.

If the text is invisible or it continues to display the background image during the test, please turn this variable resistor to adjust the contrast.The connection method of V0 variable resistor as shown in Figure 3: Figure 3:V0 variable resistor connection method How to connect LCM and development board Arduino Uno   The connection methods of four LCM communication interfaces (I2C, SPI, 6800 8bit/4bit) to Arduino Uno as shown in Figure 4. The users can observe that the I2C and SPI interfaces only need a small number of GPIO pins to control the Character LCD modules.For I2C interface, since Arduino Uno provides the pull-up resistors inside the I2C pins, there are no additional pull-up resistors connected to SDA and SCL pins. If the internal pull-up resistor is disabled in the program, an external pull-up resistor must be connected. (a)I2C interface connection  (b) SPI interface connection                                (c)6800-4bit interface connection  (d)6800-8bit interface connection                                Figure 4:Connection methods of 4 LCM communication interfaces to Arduino Uno. LCM Commands Not every communication interface can use the full command set of LCM; with SPI interface, there is no RW control line and MISO pins, therefore, the read command is not supported. For writing, through RS control line to determine whether to write command data or display data.In the I2C interface, there is also no RW control line so there is no support for read commands either. Before writing command data or display data, the command control code (A0=0) or data control code (A0=1) has to be sent to determine whether the next byte to be sent is command data or display data. SPI and I2C Interface Timing Two timing diagrams are shown in Figure 5 and Figure 6. It is the timing diagram of controlling the LCM through the SPI interface. The users can observe that the LCM uses an SPI that is not the typical SPI interface provided by a typical MCU, it requires an additional RS signal line to determine whether the current byte being sent is a command? or data? The bit data (BIT7~BIT0) of the data line (SID) changes when the clock line (SCLK) is at low level. The bit (BIT7~BIT0) data is captured when the clock line (SCLK) is high level (BIT7~BIT0). Figure 5:Timing of SPI write command Figure 6:Timing of SPI write data Figure 7 and 8 show the timing diagram of controlling the LCM through the I2C interface. Except for the chip select bar (CSB), readers can observe that the I2C interface control is to send three bytes each time to write a command data or display data. Among them, the A0 bit of the second byte will determine whether the third byte is command data or display data. Figure 7:I2C Timing of writing commands Figure 8:I2C Timing of writing data Code The LCM can be compiled and used directly by modifying the program settings. Step1: set the maximum number of characters in a single line of LCM.For example, the following sets a single line to have a maximum of 16 characters. Step2: set the maximum number of lines in the LCM.For example, the following sets the LCM to have 2 lines. Step3: set the LCM interface.For example, the following sets I2C interface. Step4: compile and upload the program to the Arduino Uno development board.Figure 9 shows a schematic diagram of the screens of three LCMs.When the display contrast is light or dark, the variable resistor at the V0 pin can be adjusted to an appropriate contrast, as shown in Figure 10. (a) Light contrast Only light characters can be seen. (b) Appropriate contrast (c) Dark contrast Each character has an obvious shadow.
