Shaanxi Light Optoelectronic (previously LumChem Optoelectronics ) is headquartered in the Xi'an Hi-tech Industrial Development Zone in China.
The company develops, produces and markets pharmaceutical intermediates, OLED intermediates and high-pure electronic chemicals.
Established in 2011 in Taiwan, Shine Materials Technology produces organic electronic materials, with a focus on OLED display materials.
Shine Materials currently produces intermediate OLED materials, TADF emitters, OLED stack materials and also offers custom synthesis services.
SmartKem is an early-stage UK-based company that develops a new class of flexible high-mobility p-type semiconductor inks for flexible displays.
Smartkem provides customized solutions involving molecular synthesis, electronic prototyping and on-site technology transfer support. In November 2013 the company announced a joint-development agreement with a major Asian display maker. In August 2014 SmartKem raised million Euro from BASF ventures and other investors. In total the company raised $37 million so far.
Canada-based Solaris Chem, develops and produces organic materials for the semiconductors and electronic industry and for academical R&D.
Solaris Chem offers materials (intermediates) for OLEDs, OPVs and OTFTs.
SolOLED, established in 2021 in the UK, develops a family of novel solution-based TADF OLED emitter, based on technology that was developed at the University of St. Andrews.
In 2022, SolOLED secured 200,000 GBP in new funding from Scottish Enterprise and has initiated a collaborative research project with CENSIS to commercialize its novel materials.
Solus Advanced Materials (previously Doosan Solus), spun-off from Doosan Electro Materials in 2019, is producing materials for the electronics industry, the health and beauty industry and the battery industry.
For the OLED industry, Solus is producing HBL, ETL, EIL and other materials - and it is developing blue and green host materials. Solus is also researching new materials such as TADF emitters and quantum dots.
In 2015 Doosan signed a business arrangement and cross-patent agreement with Idemitsu Kosan to cooperate on OLED manufacturing.
Solvay is an international chemical company (based in Belgium) that offers a broad range of products for several markets including consumer goods, construction, automotive, energy, water and environment, and electronics.
Following the acquisition of Plextronics, Solvay consolidated all its OLED activity under Solvay OLED. This activity was later closed as Solvay decided to exit the OLED market and sell its IP to Nissan Chemical Industries.
SSK Biosciences, established in 2013 in India, performs research and development work and manufacturing intermediates and API’s mostly for pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies.
For the OLED industry, SSK offers chemical R&D services, and has experience in synthesizing OLED materials, including phosphorescent host materials, electron transport / hole blocking layer (ETL / HBL) compounds and fluorescent host compounds.
Sumitomo Chemical has been established in 1913, and since then has been researching and producing industrial chemicals and materials. Sumitomo has been working with CDT on PLED materials, and has acquired the company in July 2007.
Sumitomo was engaged in soluble OLED material design for both OLED lighting and OLED displays. The company's materials were used by JOLED in its printed monitors, and in 2018 Sumitomo invested in JOLED (which is no longer in business).
Summer Sprout Technology, established in June 2017, develops OLED materials and technologies. The company develops almost all OLED stack materials, including HIL, HTL, EBL, ETL, hosts and emitters.
Summer Sprout raised almost $15 million in its first financing round to establish material R&D labs in Beijing, China. The company is building a production center in Taixing, Jiangsu province - with support from the local governments (to the tune of $71 million).
