Dresden Microdisplay was established in April 2010 as a spin-off from the Fraunhofer Institute with an aim to commercialize the Fraunhofer's OLED microdisplay technology.
Currently Dresden Microdisplay offers a single OLED microdisplay, the low power QVGA SVPO320. The company also offers bidirectional microdisplay samples.
DuPont is a science-based producer that is involved in many markets including materials, plastics, electronics, energy, medical and transportation. Dupont is a public company that trades on the NYSE (ticker: DD).
Dupont is also involved in displays - and is developing innovative and sustainable solutions that improve display performance, reduce production costs and enable next-generation technologies across a broad range of applications,.
DuPont has been developing OLED materials and process solutions for many years, active in both evaporable and soluble materials. In 2015 DuPont built a state-of-the-art scale-up facility to produce OLED materials. Dupont has also developed a new manufacturing process that use a 'spray-printer' together with Dai Nippon Screen - which may lead the way towards cheap OLED TVs.
Dynamic Organic Light (founded in 2003 and based in Colorado, USA) was focused on developing and commercializing advanced materials for OLED displays, lighting panels and organic solar cells.
We're not sure if this company still exists, as their web site is no longer working.
Eastman Kodak Company is engaged primarily in developing, manufacturing and marketing traditional and digital imaging products, services and solutions. OLEDs were originally discovered, developed and patented by Kodak, and the company has been involved in licensing and producing OLED screens. Kodak released the world's first camera to use an AMOLED screen, have released the largest (7.6") OLED photo frame and have licensed its OLED technology to over 20 companies.
We have published two interviews with Kodak's OLED systems, one about OLED display and one about OLED lighting. In September 2009, Kodak sent us an update on their OLED lighting and displays program.
Germany based EMDEOLED was developing an OLED based light bulb (in which the glass is coated from the inside) for residential lighting in collaboration with the University of Technology Braunschweig. To achieve this goal, the company developed inner-coating processes. In April 2013 the company presented first prototypes - using both SMOLED and P-OLED materials.
As far as we know EMDEOLED is no longer in business
Eteris was supposed to be established in 2014 as a merger between Applied Materials and Tokyo Electron (TEL), creating a leading semiconductor manufacturing equipment maker.
The merger was called off in April 2015 due to regulation concerns.
Everest Scientific, based in the US, was a chemicals and raw materials supplier for several industries.
For the OLED market, the company used to provide intermediate materials. It seems as if the company is no longer in business.
Fraunhofer FEP (The Fraunhofer Institute for Organic Electronics, Electron Beam and Plasma Technology) is a research institute that focuses on innovative solutions in the fields of vacuum coating, surface treatment and organic semicconductors. The core competences technologies for the organic electronics and IC/system design are electron beam technology, sputtering, plasma-activated deposition and high-rate PECVD. The Fraunhofer FEP offers a wide range of possibilities for research, development and pilot production.
In 2009, the Fraunhofer IPMS launched COMEDD (the Center for Organics, Materials and Electronic Devices Dresden), as a venue to develop OLED lighting and OLED microdisplay technologies. COMEDD started as a department at IPMS, then turned into an independent Fraunhofer Institute in 2012, and later it was incorporated into the FEP. In 2024 COMEDD, which now focuses on OLED microdisplays, was moved back into the Fraunhofer IPMS.
GLYN is a reseller of Display & System solutions, components and Multimedia in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. Glyn was founded in 1981, and is based in Idstein in Germany (near Frankfurt/Main).
GLYN offers PMOLED and AMOLED displays, and developed its own evaluation boards for OLED displays.
Goodfellow supplies pure metals, alloys, ceramics, polymers and composites as discs, sheets, foils, rods, wires and tubes, etc., to the research (R&D) and industrial markets. Goodfellow has a stock of over 45,000 catalogue items, and have sold several materials to OLED companies including ITO, cadmium, gold and polymers.
