OLED materials companies - Page 8

OTI Lumionics was established in 2011 by researchers and engineers from the University of Toronto, with an aim to develop OLED lighting technologies.

OTI is currently focused on OLED material development, including electrode materials and transparent conductors. In August 2020 the company announced that it will start shipping its 2nd-gen ConducTorr Cathode Patterning Materials (CPM) by the end of 2020 to customers, which will use these to create OLED displays with under-the-display camera and face unlock technologies. We posted an interview with the company's CEO in June 2021.

Korea-based P&H Tech produces chemicals for the semiconductor and the display industry.

For the OLED market, the company produces EBL, HTL, host materials and OLED intermediates.

Since 2021 P&H Tech is a public company that trades at the KOSDAQ.

US-based Pixelligent is an advanced materials company that delivers next generation optical materials applications in lighting and displays. For both LED and OLED lighting applications, the company provides materials that significantly increase light output by increasing the refractive index of materials in the device.

Pixelligent has been awarded several OLED projects by the US DoE and is collaborating with OLEDWorks and the ORNL. In August 2015 the company officially launched its PixClear family of light extraction materials for OLED lighting panels.

R-Display & Lighting (RDL) was established in 2011 by an ex-Kodak professional to develop OLED technologies.

RDL is developing technology and materials (including emitter and charge transporting materials) for both OLED display and lighting products.

China-based XinXiang Runyu Material is a manufacturer of organic phosphine ligands and coupling solutions service provider in China.

For the OLED industry, Runyu Material is offering OLED intermediates.

Samsung SDI was established in 1970, starting out as a display maker - making CRTs, LCDs and PDP panels. The company handled Samsung's OLED business but in 2008 Samsung Mobile Display was spun off to handle all of Samsung's mobile display (this was later merged into Samsung Display). Samsung SDI changed its focus to renewable energy (mostly L-ion batteries).

In March 2014, Samsung SDI acquired Samsung's Cheil Industries for $3.3 billion who's involved with electronic materials - including OLED materials. In August 2013, Cheil Industries (together with Samsung Electronics) acquired Novaled for €260 million. So Samsung SDI is now involved with OLED materials and is a major stakeholder in Novaled.

Germany-based Schott AG produces a wide range of specialty glasses and glass-ceramics for many industries.

Schott has developed an ultra-thin flexible glass suitable as foldable OLED display cover glass. The company is collaborating with other OLED developers including in several EU projects such as the KONFECT project. Schott is collaborating with Korea's Dowoo Insys, who's Samsung's UTG supplier for its foldable OLEDs.

Sensient Imaging Technologies (formerly known as SynTec, and today a subsidiary of the US based Sensient Technologies Corporation) is a German manufacturer of highly specialized performance chemicals for OLED displays and laser printing equipment.

Sensient has started researching and developing OLEDs back in 1998 and today the company produces and markets over 100 different OLED chemicals.

SEQENS, based in Paris is an integrated pharmaceutical synthesis and specialty ingredients producer. The company was established in 2019 following the acquisition of PCAS and other companies by the Novacap group.

For organic electronic applications, SEQENS offers evaporable small molecules, transparent electrode materials, active conductive polymers, smart luminescent polymers and substrate materials.
