LG Display Co. Ltd. has agreed to a $13 million settlement to a class action lawsuit in the state of Washington. The suit alleged that LG was engaging in price fixing with other panel manufacturers. Additionally, the court is requiring LG to create and monitor programs for the purpose of preventing antitrust compliance in the future.
