Neumark Rothschild developed a process necessary for making blue, green, violet
and ultraviolet (high spectral) LEDs, used in many products, including
flat-screen TVs, cell phone screens, computers, and traffic lights. All told, a
market estimated at $7.2 billion.
4,904,618 and
5,252,499 were Rothschild's reward. Several semiconductor makers have
licensed the technology, including Sony. From an ITC complaint filed in
February, over 30 companies are still under the gun, including Hitachi, LG,
Nokia, Sharp, Samsung, Toshiba. More settlements are in the offing.
