Samsung Display vowed Monday to continue its legal fight with LG Display after the Suwon District Prosecutors’ Office charged 11 former senior and low-ranking technicians over involvement in the leak of cutting-edge OLED technology to LG.

``This is intolerable. All key OLED technologies were leaked to LG. This is a serious crime. Samsung Display is seeking compensation from LG and we will continue civil lawsuits against LG Display,’’ said Shim Jae-boo, chief communications officer at Samsung Display in a briefing at the company’s main office.
