A light in the impasse between China's Huawei and the US. After the obtaining a license from the U.S. Commerce Department this week, Samsung may revert to some of its subsidiary Samsung Display's OLED panels for Huawei.

Last month, Samsung and LG were forced to stop supplying displays to Huawei due to US sanctions. Samsung's panels were included in the restrictions because they use American-made display driver integrated circuits. The argument behind the ban is that the Chinese company could use its products to spy on other nations.

Despite the license, not all of Samsung Display's OLED products have been approved. Furthermore, the Commerce Department's text is vague, and it is unclear whether Huawei will even be allowed to buy displays from Samsung. The reason is that the United States requires all companies involved in the supply chain to have a government license.

Huawei and Samsung Display declined to comment on the matter, which could be considered a small victory for the Chinese manufacturer. Despite this, we will certainly soon have news on this real trade war between China and the US.

Recently, AMD and Intel also received special authorization from the US government to resume supplying components to Huawei.

Huawei may buy screens: Other companies seeking approval

Samsung Electronics, RAM chipmaker SK Hynix and LG Display are also seeking approval. Meanwhile, Huawei could source panels from BOE, a rising Chinese display maker that is no doubt celebrating the new business.

Additionally, Qualcomm has also applied for a license to market its products with Huawei, but has not yet received it.
