World's-largest flat panel manufacturer LG is built on stolen Taiwanese technology
Taiwan was 10 years ahead of South Korea in industrialization. In fact, Taiwan's cumulative USPTO patents over the last 30 years are still ahead of South Korea. Furthermore, Taiwan's quality appears to be far superior to South Korean USPTO patents. I will discuss this further in the USPTO patent thread.
From the citation below, we see the world's seven largest flat panel display manufacturers for March are:
1. South Korean LG Display: US$1.84 billion
2. South Korean Samsung Electronics: $1.25 billion
3. Taiwan Innolux: $1.17 billion
4. Taiwan AU Optronics: $1.12 billion
5. Japan Sharp: $0.39 billion
6. China BOE Technology Group: $0.26 billion
7. China Star Optoelectronics Technology: $0.257 billion
The problem with the list is that LG Display illegally used four critical Taiwanese AU Optronics patents to manufacture its flat panel displays. Basically, the world's largest flat panel maker is built on stolen Taiwanese technology.
You also have to wonder how much of Samsung's business is built on "appropriated" Taiwanese technology. There have been times when Samsung was caught red-handed and had to license Taiwanese technology. The problem is that litigation is expensive. Also, it is almost unheard of to obtain an injunction against a South Korean conglomerate.
In conclusion, though it is extremely unfair, a significant portion of South Korean success is built on stolen Taiwanese patents.

LG Display of South Korea ranked as the largest screen supplier in March with sales of US$1.84 billion, ahead of Samsung Electronics Co., which had US$1.25 billion in sales, the survey showed.
Taiwan's Innolux Corp. and AU Optronics Corp. came in third and fourth, respectively, after posting US$1.17 billion and US$1.12 billion in sales during the month.
Japan-based Sharp Corp. came in fifth with sales of US$390 million, followed by China's BOE Technology Group Co. and China Star Optoelectronics Technology Corp., which had US$260 million and US$257 million in sales, respectively.

LG Loses Patent Infringement Lawsuit to AU Optronics | General Patent Corporation
"LG Loses Patent Infringement Lawsuit to AU Optronics
May 4, 2010 - LG Electronics not only lost the patent infringement lawsuit it filed against AU Optronices, but was even found to be infringing AU's patents itself.
A division of LG, LG Display, filed a lawsuit in December 2006 alleging that AU infringed four of its patents related to LCD displays. AU denied the claims and filed its own lawsuit against LG, alleging that LG infringed four of AU's patents related to LCD optimization.
A U.S. District Court judge in Delaware first found LG guilty of infringement of all four AU patents in February; on April 29, the same court found that AU was not guilty of patent infringement on all of LG's charges."

"ITRI prevails in patent dispute with Samsung
Author: Maximus | Posted at: 5/22/2010
The Taiwan government-sponsored Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) has reportedly prevailed over Samsung Electronics in a patent infringement lawsuit involving 19 patents, according to market sources.
Samsung could still appeal, the sources noted.
ITRI noted that the lawsuit is still in process and declined to comment.
ITRI last year sued Samsung in the US, accusing the Korean vendor of infringing its patents of from semiconductor, display and handset technologies. ITRI claimed that Samsung's i607, D520, SPH-A940, SPH-M220, SPH-M320 and SGH-D307 handset models violated its patents of US 6,459,413 and US 5,208,472."
