We are happy to report that the OLED Toolbox is progressing nicely, and we are on track to release it in January 2024. This post includes more info on the toolbox, and our latest status report. We are also sharing some samples from the report - you can see the video below with some pages from our market report, company contributions, spreadsheets and insights.
The OLED Toolbox is now ready for pre-orders, with a special early-bird discount - this is a great chance to get the upcoming report in a low price, only available until December 31, 2023. The toolbox will be a must-have information platform for companies in the display industry, and will include five different parts:
IPValue Management announced that it has acquired around 200 OLED patents from Seiko Epson. We do not know the nature of these patents, and whether IPValue bought all of Seiko Epson's OLED IP portfolio or just a part of it. IPValue says that the patents will be owned by its subsidiary Lumitek Display Technology.
Seiko Epson has been working on OLED technologies for many years - and it has been involved mostly with soluble OLED materials, ink-jet printing and OLED microdisplays. In 2013 Samsung Display bought several OLED patents from Seiko Epson.
Visionox announced that it has produced the first mass-production sample ViP AMOLED display. The company aims to start mass producing small and medium-sized ViP AMOLED soon, and later apply the technology for large-area panels as well.
The company did not detail when it expects to start actual mass production. It did update that it has already applied for over 500 patents regarding to ViP technology, over 13 different technical fields. The company also says it is in talks with several key customers to define its production process and final display capabilities.
