Perhaps unsurprisingly given this rivalry, mud-slinging between the two companies has been rife over the years. The issues between the two even saw Samsung and LG go head-to-head in 2013 over whose fridge has the bigger capacity and could fit more vegetables inside it. The peace deal between the tech giants extends to their subsidiaries, and affects a case involving Samsung Display and LG Display Co over so-called organic LED technology. Last month, Samsung employees were indicted by prosecutors on charges of stealing this technology from LG – something that Samsung denies.
