Sharp Corp. said it filed a U.S. lawsuit accusing Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. of infringing Sharp's LCD patents.
The suit comes at a time when major flat TV suppliers such as Sharp, Samsung and Sony Corp. battle fierce price competition and shrinking margins.
Sharp said it filed the suit in the Court for the Eastern District of Texas and was seeking compensation and the prohibition of sales of products infringing five of its LCD patents including one that relates to technology used to enhance display quality.
The infringing products include Samsung televisions and monitors and mobile phones that include Samsung LCD modules, according to Sharp, which is asking for a jury trial.
Sharp declined to comment on how much monetary compensation it is seeking.
