`
`AMENDED COMPLAINT FOR PATENT INFRINGEMENT
`AND DEMAND FOR JURY TRIAL
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiffs Seoul Semiconductor Co., Ltd. (“Seoul Semiconductor”) and Seoul Viosys Co.,
`
`Ltd. (“Seoul Viosys”), (collectively “Plaintiffs”) for their Amended Complaint against Defendant
`
`Fry’s Electronics, Inc. (“Fry’s”) allege as follows:
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`1.
`
`Plaintiffs bring this patent infringement action to protect their valuable patented
`
`technology relating to light-emitting diodes (“LEDs”) and LED technology in lighting and
`
`televisions. An LED is a semiconductor device that converts electrical energy into light. LEDs
`
`have many advantages over conventional light sources, including lower energy consumption,
`
`longer lifetime, and smaller size.
`2.
`
`Seoul Semiconductor was founded in 1992 with around 30 employees in a small
`
`space of a commercial building in Bongchen-dong, Seoul. From those 30 employees, Seoul
`
`Semiconductor grew into one of the largest manufacturers of LEDs in the world. Seoul Viosys is
`
`also a leading company in the LED industry and an affiliate company of Seoul Semiconductor.
`3.
`
`Seoul Semiconductor’s success is in large part due to its significant investment in
`
`innovation and respect for intellectual property. Seoul Semiconductor has invested in research and
`

`
`development (“R&D”) for the last two decades. Seoul Semiconductor invests over 10% of sales
`
`revenue into R&D and owns one of the largest LED patent portfolios in the world, which includes
`
`more than 10,000 patents worldwide.

`
`JURISDICTION AND VENUE
`
`
`
`19.
`
`This is an action for patent infringement, under the patent laws of the United States,
`
`35 U.S.C. § 271 et seq. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. §§1331 and
`
`1338(a).

`
`
`Case 2:18-cv-00386-JRG Document 16 Filed 11/20/18 Page 6 of 55 PageID #: 379
`
`20.
`
`This Court has personal jurisdiction over Fry’s and, upon information and belief, is
`
`amenable to service via its registered agent Phillip L. Sampson, Jr. located at Bracewell & Giuliani,
`
`L.L.P., 711 Louisiana Street, Suite 2300, Houston, Texas 77002.

`
`Venue is proper within this judicial district under 28 U.S.C. §1400(b) because Fry’s
`
`has committed acts of infringement in this judicial district and has a regular and established place
`
`of business within this judicial district. More specifically, a number of the infringing products were
`
`purchased at a Fry’s store located at 700 E. Plano Parkway in Plano, Texas, which is within this
`
`judicial district.

`
`The RCA LED TV LED55C55R120Q television includes a plurality of LED-based
`
`light emitting devices. The image below shows the RCA LED TV LED55C55R120Q television

`
`Two images are provided below. The image below left is a close up view from
`
`above of a lens. The image below right is a close up view of a light emitting device after removal
`
`of its associated lens.
`
`
`
`The image below is of the top surface of a light emitting diode from the RCA LED
`

`
`TV LED55C55R120Q television. Two electrode pads are shown in the image below, an n-
`
`electrode pad in the center near the left edge and a p-electrode pad in the center near the right edge.
`
`The square region around the n-electrode pad indicates an exposed portion of an n-type contact
`
`layer that extends to all four edges of the light emitting diode. The exposed portions of the n-type
`
`contact layer appears as a slightly lighter in the image. The p-electrode pad sits atop a mesa
`
`structure comprising a p-type contact layer over an active layer, the mesa structure sitting atop the
`
`n-type contact layer. The mesa structure appears slightly darker in the image.
`
`
`The images below, which were created using a scanning electron microscope after
`
`60.
`
`a hole was milled into the light emitting diode using an ion beam. The image below left shows a
`
`hole created near the n-electrode pad through a portion of an exposed n-type contact layer and a

`portion of the mesa. The image below right provides an enlarged view of the side of the milled
`
`hole, again showing the n-type contact layer and the mesa comprising the active and p-type contact
`
`layers.
`
`
`As the above top-surface view of the light emitting diode shows, two n-extensions
`
`61.
`
`extend from the n-electrode pad toward the right edge. The far right ends of the n-extensions are
`
`further apart than the far left ends that connect to the n-electrode pad. The top n-extension is
`
`convexly bent towards the top edge and the bottom n-extension is convexly bent toward the bottom
`
`edge.
`
`62.
`
`The top-surface view of the light emitting diode also shows three p-extensions
`
`extending from the p-electrode pad toward the left edge. The top and bottom p-extensions enclose
`
`the two n-extensions. The third central p-extension extends between the two n-extensions.
`63.
`
`Fry’s’ infringement has caused and is continuing to cause damage and irreparable
`
`injury to Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs will continue to suffer damage and irreparable injury unless and until
`

`
`Fry’s has infringed and continues to infringe one or more claims of the ’328 Patent,
`
`including but not limited to exemplary claim 1, pursuant to 35 U.S.C. § 271(a) at least by without
`
`authority making, using, offering to sell, and/or selling the RCA LED TV LED60B55R120Q
`

`
`above of a lens from a RCA LED TV LED60B55R120Q television. The lens is a non-imaging
`
`type. The image below right is a close up view of a light emitting device from a RCA LED TV
`

`
`
`
`The image below is a side view of a light emitting device from a RCA LED TV
`
`82.
`
`LED60B55R120Q television. The primary excitation source is shown as a LED connected on its
`
`top surface by a pair of wires. The image also shows a layer of phosphor coating the top surface
`
`of the LED. The phosphor appears yellow in color in the image. The phosphor comprises a second
`
`emitter conversion element that is optically coupled to the LED and absorbs some of the blue light
`
`emitted from the LED to emit light at a longer wavelength part of the spectrum. The light emitted
`
`by the phosphor has a peak and a band of wavelengths around the peak.

`
`The RCA LED TV LED55C55R120Q television includes a plurality of LED-based
`
`light emitting devices. The image below shows the RCA LED TV LED55C55R120Q television
`
`after removal of the liquid crystal display panel, revealing 108 LED-based light emitting devices

`
`
`Two images are provided below. The image below left is a close up view from

`
`
`The image below is a side-view of a lens from the RCA LED TV LED55C55R120Q

`
`television. As this image and the one above show, the lens comprises a solid of revolution about a
`
`central axis of the lens. The lens includes a central cavity within which the light emitting device is
`
`provided. The surface of the central cavity comprise s a light entry surface for light emitted from
`
`the light emitting device. The upper and side surfaces comprise a light exit surface configured to
`
`radiate the light received by the light entrance surface into a diverging output beam.

`
`
`The image below is of a cross-section of a lens, which shows the profile of both the
`
`90.
`
`light entry surface and the light exit surface. The profile of the light entry surface results in
`
`refraction of the entering light, which results in light incident at the light exit surface having a
`
`predominantly uniform irradiance. The predominantly uniform irradiance incident at the light exit
`
`surface is then refracted to create an output beam. The light entry surface comprises a first concave
`
`shape relative to the light source and the light exit surface comprises a second concave shape
`
`relative to the light source, with the light exit surface being substantially larger than the light entry
`
`surface.
`
`
`Two images are provided below. The left and right images show a side view of a
`
`91.
`
`light source from the RCA LED TV LED55C55R120Q television created using a microscope and
`
`scanning electron microscope. The light source has a width of approximately 3 millimeters.
