Bright LCD Patent Dispute

Posted by samzenpus on Thursday October 7, 2004 @07:40AM from the that-was-my-idea dept.

pcp_ip writes "Honeywell filed suit Wednesday against 34 companies (including, Apple, Dell, Sony, Kodak, Fuji et al.) for infringment of patent 5,280,371. The patent for "a directional diffuser for a liquid crystal display" was filed on January 1994 and enables "a display to produce a brighter image without requiring additional power." Honeywell is looking for an injunction to prevent the defendants from continuing to infringe its patent, and for "damages adequate to compensate them for Defendants infringement." So much for LCD prices coming down! Where's OLED when you need it?"

I would like to draw everyones attention to a patent I submitted for review. It basiclly states the effect of hundreds of requests being put on a server in a matter of minutes following the posting of a story on /. forcing the server to BSOD. I'll be collecting from you all in the near future. First Post oh yeah!
