Nokia Sues Eight LCD Makers for Collusion

By Andy Patrizio
December 7, 2009

Nokia has filed suit against a number of top LCD panel manufacturers, accusing them of collusion and price fixing of flat screen displays all the way back to 1996. Because LCD panels are a relatively recent development, Nokia has included makers of CRT-based displays as well.

The lawsuit (here in PDF format) was filed on Nov. 25 in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco. It covers a period between Jan. 1, 1996 to Dec. 11, 2006 during which Nokia says it overpaid for displays that went into its phones.

The suit names a number of defendants: LG Display, Samsung Electronics, Sharp, Hitachi, Toshiba, Chunghwa Picture Tubes Ltd., Epson Imaging Devices, Philips, Tatung, Seiko Epson and AU Optronics plus their American subsidiaries are named.
