OLED display producers - Page 2

Japan Display

Japan Display (JDI) is a display producer, formed in 2011 in Japan by the merger of Sony's, Toshiba's and Hitachi's display businesses and funded by Japan's government fund Innovation Network Corporation (INCJ).

JDI was late to the OLED industry, and in 2017 JDI announced that it is going to perform a "last-chance" restructuring to focus on OLEDs as there is "no future for the smartphone panel business without OLED". The company however didn't achieve mass production of displays beyond small wearable AMOLEDs (which it supplied to Apple). In 2025, the company stopped its OLED production as it could not compete with larger scale producers.

In 2022, JDI announced a maskless OLED deposition process which they refer to as eLEAP. JDI is focused on that technology, but it has yet managed to initiate production.

Kopin

US-based Kopin Corporation is a developer of microdisplays and other components for wearable devices.

In December 2016 Kopin announced it is developing OLED microdisplays, and the company since introduced several OLED microdisplays (the first ones were 1" 2Kx2K and 0.49" 1280x720) and announced several design wins.

Kopin signed agreements with OLiGHTEK and with BOE's JV with OLiGHTEK for the production of its OLED microdisplays, but later started working with Lakaeside Optoelectronics.

In early 2023 Kopin spun-off its OLED business unit to Lightning Silicon Technology.

KT&T was established in 2020 as a spin-off from INT Tech, to commercialize its OLED microdisplay technology, following INT Tech's $143 million OLED fab in the city of Taizhou in Zhejiang province, China.

In 2022, KT&T introduced its first microdisplays, based on its own UNEEDXR technology that enables ultra-high pixel densities on either TFT or silicon backplanes. The company's technology is based on RGB structure, without color filters, to achieve high brightness (up to 12,000 nits) and low power consumption.

Following several rounds of investments, KT&T became an independent company, and INT Tech is still a major shareholder.

Kunetech

Kuntech (officially Shaanxi Kuntech Semiconductor Technology) was established in 2018 in Xian, Shaanxi, China with an aim to become an AMOLED producer.

The company has setup an AMOLED R&D center, researching different flexible AMOLED technologies, and has plans to build a $6 billion 6-Gen flexible AMOLED production line by 2021.

Kunshan Mengxian

Kunshan Mengxian Electric (also known as Qingyue Optical) was established in 2020 in China with plans to produce OLED microdisplays. The company is owned by Qingyue, a PMOLED producer that was spun-off in 2021 from OLED maker Visionox.

In 2020, Kunshan Mengxian announced its plans for a $55 million OLED microdisplay line, in Kunshan, Jiangsu province. The company is looking to produce direct-emission RGB OLED microdisplays.

Lakeside Lightning Semiconductor

Lakeside Lightning Semiconductor (LLS, also called Lakeside Optoelectronics) was established in April 2017, in Changzhou, Jiangsu, China. The company develops and produces OLED microdisplays.

LLS operates a small 8-inch production line in Changzhou, and is building an advanced 12-inch OLED microdisplay fab in Yixing (Wuxi). Lakeside is collaborating with US-based Lightning Silicon Technology (Kopin).

LG Display

LG Display, based in Korea, is one of the world's largest display makers. LGD produces screens for TVs, laptops and mobile devices, focusing on OLED technologies.

LG Display is the world's leading OLED TV and monitor panel producer (based on its WOLED architecture). The company also produces flexible AMOLEDs for wearables, tablets and smartphones (branded as pOLEDs, and supplied to many companies including Apple). LG Display is also offering automotive OLED displays, transparent OLEDs, and is developing OLED microdisplays.

Lightning Silicon Technology

Lightning Silicon Technology was established in early 2023 as a semi-spin-off from Kopin, to develop and supply advanced OLED microdisplays to consumer AR and VR markets. The company licensed Kopin's technology. Kopin holds 20% in Lightning Silicon.

Lightning Silicon is a fabless company and has an agreement with China-based Lakeside Lightning Semiconductor.

Lumicore

Established in Shanghai, China in 2019, Lumicore (also known as Nanjing Yunguang Technology) is an OLED microdisplay producer. In 2021 the company started to construct a 8-inch OLED microdisplay production line in Nanjing. The low-volume line (1,000 monthly substrates) is now in mass production.

In early 2024, Lumicore announced it has raised $100 million in its Series A funding round. The company announced several microdisplay products.

In early 2026, the company announced it is starting to construct a large capacity $390 million 12-inch OLED microdisplay fab in Nanjing, which will be put into operation in 2027.

Metaways

Metaways (also called Zhejiang Hongxi Technology) is an OLED microdisplay producer based in China.

Metaways is building a 12-inch microdisplay production line in Yiwu City, Zhejiang province, and is developing high-end OLED microdisplays, including a 1.4" 4K product. In early 2025, the company raised $68.5 in its Series A funding round.
