MagnaChip offers driver ICs for AMOLED displays, and since 2007 the company shipped over 730 million OLED driver ICs (this was true in 2022, so the number is higher now). In 2018 the company reported high growth in its AMOLED driver business.

Mattrix Technologies (previously nVerPix) was established in October 2010 to commercialize the CN-VOLET technology developed at the University of Florida (with funding from Nanoholdings). CN-VOLET is a next-gen, cost-effective backplane technology, especially suitable for AMOLED displays.

In June 2013 we posted an update on nVerPix's technology and business. In 2016 the company demonstrated a 2.5" 320x240 display prototype based on its OLET pixel architecture.

Established in 1997, Taiwan-based Novatek Microelectronics Corp. is a fabless chip design company that provides a wide range of display driver ICs and SoC solutions.

Novatek develops drivers for both small-sized and large-area displays - LCD and AMOLED displays.

In 2019 the company says that its current OLED driver shipments are about a million unit per month, and it expects this number to double in the near future.

Germany-based Oreltech is an early stage company that commercializes a unique printed electronics technology based on novel conductive ink and production process.

The company's ink and processes are suitable for the deposition of OLED electrodes for flexible devices.

In 2017 we posted an interview with the company's Head of R&D, Konstantin Livanov.

US-based Polyera was established in 2005 to develop OTFT based backplanes for flexible displays. The company raised over $30 million in several financing rounds, and has a flexible display pilot line in Taiwan.

In December 2014 the company demonstrated a flexible OLED panel, and in August 2015 they announced their first product, the Wove Band flexible E Ink smart band, to be released in the second half of 2016. In December 2015 we posted an interview with the company's VP of special operations.

PPG Industries, founded in 1883 and based in Pittsburgh US, produces specialty and commodity chemicals, coatings, optical products and glass products.

Since 2000, PPG is the exclusive supplier of Universal Display's PHOLED materials. PPG is also developing OLED lighting substrates based on the company's glass coating technologies.

Raydium Semiconductor Corporation, established in 2003 in Taiwan, develops display and touch panel ICs. The company's product line includes source drivers, gate drivers, mobile phone ICs and A/V applications. integrated driver IC for mobile phone, AV applications, General Display.

Raydium develops drivers for both LCD and AMOLED displays.

Rolic Technologies, based in Switzerland, develops and markets nanoscale surface modification systems that achieve unique light management and optical effects. Rolic has three business units: displays, security and organic electronics. For the OLED market, Rolic develops materials that improve light outcoupling, lifetime and efficiency for OLED displays and lighting panels.

Rolic Technologies has been researching OLED encapsulation and out-coupling layers since 2012 with the Holst Center. In 2013 the company opened a new OLED development center to commercialize those technologies.

In early 2017 Rolic was acquired by BASF.
