MARSHALL, Texas \u2013 An East Texas jury has awarded $62.7 million to Ireland-based Solas OLED Ltd. after finding Samsung Display Company Ltd. willfully infringed on two screen display patents used in Samsung Galaxy phones.<\/p>\n

The six-day trial resulted in a verdict that Samsung had infringed on U.S. patent numbers 7,446,338 and 9,256,311 related to active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) functions used in OLED displays for Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Note smartphones. The jury determined a third patent, U.S. Patent Number 6,072,450, to be invalid.<\/p>\n

According to the verdict form, Samsung must pay a lump sum of $27.3 million for the \u2018338 patent and $35.4 million for the \u2018311 patent.<\/p>\n
