`Plaintiff,
`
`v.
`
`
`SOLAS OLED LTD., an Irish corporation,

`
`
`
`DEFENDANTS’ PROPOSED CLAIM CONSTRUCTIONS
`Pursuant to the Court’s December 21, 2019 Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 59), Defendants
`LG Display Co., LTD. (“LGD”), LG Electronics, Inc. (“LGE”), and Sony Corporation (“Sony”)
`(collectively, “Defendants”) propose
`the
`following claim constructions
`(“Proposed
`Constructions”).
`their current knowledge,
`these Proposed Constructions upon
`Defendants base
`understanding, and belief as to the facts and information available as of this date. Defendants
`reserve the right to supplement or amend these disclosures in response to the parties’ meeting and
`conferring, Solas’s proposed claim constructions, and as otherwise permitted by the Order
`Governing Proceedings (Dkt. No. 50) and consistent with the Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 59).
`Defendants’ Proposed Construction for any term does not imply that the claim satisfies 35
`U.S.C. § 112, and any indication that any term does not satisfy 35 U.S.C. § 112 does not imply
`that any other terms do satisfy 35 U.S.C. § 112. Defendants Proposed Terms are not presented in
`any particular order of importance.
`Subject to the foregoing, Defendants’ Proposed Constructions are:
