The Next Web reports Samsung and LG have settled their OLED technology patent disputes outside the courtroom:
Korean news agency Yonhap reports that the two companies have vowed to resolve their dispute over organic light-emitting diode (OLED) panel technologies ”through dialogue” rather than the court room.

Recent months have seen both companies threaten legal action over an issue which began in 2011 when Samsung Display suspected that 11 of its researchers had leaked details of its OLED technology, which underpin the display system in smartphones, tablets, TVs and other devices, to rival LG Display.

The most recent developments saw LG serve Samsung with a patent suit, while Samsung moved to annul seven LG patents when it contacted a court in November 2012.
