RiTDisplay is a Taiwanese company, manufacturing PMOLED panels. RiT has been spun-off from Ritek, that still holds a majority stake. RiTDisplay is one of the world's largest PMOLED makers.
RiTDisplay went public in 2016, following a strong rise in PMOLED demand. The company is trading in the Taipei Stock Exchange (8104:TT). Beyond its own displays, the company is also producing Futaba's PMOLEDs.
In June 2011 it was reported that RiTDisplay is collaborating with IGNIS on AMOLED panel production on a-Si backplanes. That project never took off, though. In 2024, RiT announced a partnership with SmartKem to develop OTFT-driven AMOLEDs by 2024.

The PMOLED Industry: A Strategic Entry Point for Supply Chain Companies
The Passive Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode (PMOLED) industry represents a compelling opportunity for supply chain companies seeking to enter the broader OLED ecosystem. The PMOLED sector offers a more accessible entry point compared to the highly competitive Active Matrix OLED (AMOLED) market.
This industry, while smaller than its AMOLED counterpart, provides unique advantages for suppliers including lower barriers to entry, faster development cycles, and opportunities to establish relationships that can scale to larger OLED markets.

Smartkem and RiTDisplay sign an MoU to evaluate the OTFT process at a 2.5-Gen pilot AMOLED line transferred from ITRI
UK-based OTFT display backplane developer Smartkem announced a non-binding memorandum of understanding (MoU) with PMOLED maker RiTdisplay to evaluate the integration of Smartkem's OTFT process on RiTdisplay's 2.5-Gen pilot line for AMOLED production.
Smartkems announced a joint development agreement with RiTdisplay back in 2021, and in 2024 it signed a collaboration agreement with RiTDisplay for the production of OTFT-based AMOLED displays. This new MoU marks, according to Smartkem, a "significant progression in the collaboration work" between the two companies. Under the MoU, product prototyping capabilities will be transferred from ITRI's Gen2.5 line to a newly integrated Gen2.5 pilot line at RiTdisplay. The parties expect that the RiTdisplay line will be available for use in the second half of 2025.
RitDisplay to produce OTFT-driven AMOLED displays by 2026 in collaboration with Smartkem
UK-based OTFT display backplane developer SmartKem announced that it signed a collaboration agreement with based PMOLED-maker RiTdisplay, for the production of OTFT-based AMOLED displays. SmartKem further said that Innovate UK and the Taiwanese Ministry of Economic Affairs will support this project with a grant of around $530,000.
Smartkem will provide its proprietary OTFT materials to RiTdisplay to integrate within its OLED displays. If successful, the project will create the world's first commercially ready AMOLED display made using organic transistors, which will outperform RiT's PMOLEDs with higher brightness, lower power consumption and higher resolutions. Both companies hope that the project will be completed in 2026.
Futaba expands its strategic relationship with RiTDisplay for the production of PMOLED displays
RiTDisplay and SmartKem join forces to develop OTFT-AMOLED displays
UK-based OTFT display backplane developer SmartKem announced that it has signed a joint development agreement with Taiwan-based PMOLED-maker RiTdisplay, for the production of OTFT-based AMOLED display prototypes.
SmartKem's technology could enable RiTDisplay to produce AMOLED displays at a lower cost, and, more significantly, to use its own PMOLED production line without the large investment needed for an LTPS AMOLED Line. The current agreement includes a prototype display development, it will have to be seen whether it will be expanded in the future for actual production.

PlayNitride shows advanced flexible and transparent Micro-LED displays
PlayNitride demonstrated its latest Micro-LED displays at SID DisplayWeek 2019 - a 7.56" 720x480 (114 PPI) transparent MicroLED, a flexible Micro-LED on a polyimide substrate and a high-brightness, high-resolution passive matrix MicroLED aimed towards wearable applications.
PlayNitride aims to release its first Micro-LED display products by the end of 2019. In 2017 the company started to sample micro-LED panels and shipped samples to 10-20 potential customers.
