My grudge against Honeywell just seems to grow worse by the day! Do they have finished products out there on the market using their technology? If not, would their patent claim work like a trademark and not work (like a prior art argument?).
Honeywell makes the displays for commercial aircraft cockpits -- a situation where minimizing flicker is critical. It's true that they probably don't directly compete in the consumer space, but protecting intellectual property doesn't work that way. In this particular case, I'd have to side with Honeywell protecting their LCD patents.
