Leti is a French research institute that is part of CEA (a government-funded technological research organisation). Leti is a large institute with over 2,500 employees and it has an active OLED research.

Leti's OLED program currently focuses on microdisplays. The lab spun-off MicroOLED back in 2007 and they are currently researching the full integration of OLED technology into systems (including IC integration if needed), optical development, encapsulation and more. Leti is also developing other OLED applications, such as optical communication and bio-related applications.

China's OLED Industry Alliance was established in June 2011 with an aim to help grow the Chinese OLED industry.

The alliance is headed by the Chinese Government and includes19 member companies, including Rainbow corporation, Irico, Visionox, Tianma, TCL, BOE Display , First-O-Lite, OLightek, Sichuan CCO, Aglaia Tech, Jilin Optical and Electronic materials and others.

CSEM, the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology is a privately held, knowledge-based company carrying out applied research work, product development, prototype, and low-volume production.

CSEM's Polymer Optoelectronics Section offers expertise in custom designed PLED (PLED) development, screening of polymeric semiconductor materials for organic optoelectronic devices, and dedicated feasibility studies.

Taiwan-based D&P Technology, established in 2007, produces sputtering targets and cooling backing plates for the FPD industry.

D&P developed foldable CPI / PET coating cover films for foldable OLED devices.

Dongxu, also known as Tungshu, was established in 1997 and its headquarters and R&D center are located in Beijing. With roots in the optoelectronic display industry, it now has become a industrial investment enterprise focused on the optoelectronic display and renewable energy industries, while also covering financing, urbanization and real estate.

For the display industry, Dongxu offers equipment and materials used in the production of display panels. In November 2020 it was reported that the company is establishing China's largest 6-Gen OLED glass substrate factory in Tianshui City, Gansu Province.

The National Centre for Flexible Electronics (FlexE) was established in 2014 at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur. The centre aims to bring together Indian academia, industry and public research organizations for research and development of large area flexible electronics.

The FlexE center develops OLED lighting and OLED signage applications and is collaborating with industrial partners in both fields. The center explores evaporation, printing and hybrid processing for OLED production.

In 2017 the FlexE center announced it has ordered a bespoke roll-to-roll (R2R) pilot line that will be used for R&D and prototyping projects in the field of printed and flexible electronics. In 2021 we posted an article outlining the major OLED technologies developed at FlexE.

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.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Applied Polymer Research (IAP) develops bio-based and synthetic polymers, from the laboratory to the industrial scale. Applications are diverse across many markets, such as bio-based packaging, lightweight materials, truck tires and more.

One of the applications being researched and developed at the Fraunhofer IAP is luminescent materials for displays. The IAP functional polymer systems division, looks into a broad range of materials, including light-emitting polymers and quantum dots. The focus lies in solution processing of these materials with a strong focus on printing methods.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems (Fraunhofer IPMS) is a research institute dealing with electronic, mechanical and optical components and their integration into devices and systems.

The Fraunhofer IPMS has been working on OLED since 2000, and in 2009 it launched a new department called COMEDD (the Center for Organics, Materials and Electronic Devices Dresden) to handle its OLED research and pilot fabrication. COMEDD was turned into an independent Fraunhofer Institute in 2012, later it became a business unit at Fraunhofer FEP, and in early 2024 it moved back into the IPMS.

The COMEDD researchers used to develop OLED lighting technologies, and OLED microdisplay technologies. Today most of the focus is into OLED microdisplays.
