Amber Molecular was established in 2017 by researchers at The University of Toronto in Canada to develop novel fluorescent OLED emitters.
Amber Molecular designed and patented a family of fluorescent red, orange and infrared OLED emissive materials. In 2023, the company was shut down.
APEVA SE developed and markets Organic Vapor Phase Deposition (OVPD) OLED manufacturing equipment. APEVA was spun-off from Aixtron in 2017. OVPD was exclusively licensed to Aixtron by UDC.
In 2022 Aixtron decided to shut-down APEVA as the company did not manage to find customers for its OVPD platform.
In October 2014 we posted an interview with AIXTRON's business development director and he explains the company's OLED technology and business.
US-based DowDuPont was established in 2015 as a merger between DuPont and Dow Chemical. The new company was a material company active in agriculture, materials science and specialty products.
18 months after the merger, DowDupont was split into three companies, and Dupont and Dow became public companies again.
Daejoo Electronic Materials, based in Korea, manufactures materials for the electronic industry. The company's materials are used in a wide range of applications such as LEDs, CFLs, epoxies, glass materials, phosphors and more.
For the OLED industry, Daejoo used to offer blue host and emitters in addition to ETL, EML, HTL and HIL materials. The company stopped its OLED project a while back.
Konica Minolta Pioneer OLED was established in 2017 as a joint venture between Konica Minolta and Pioneer to accelerate automotive OLED lighting. The new company was formed with an initial capital of 490 million yen (about $4.4 million) and a focus on OLED lighting for automotive applications.
The new "strategic alliance" was to combine KM's roll-to-roll flexible OLED production equipment and technology with Pioneer's achievement in OLED panel mass-production and market rollout and its car electronics business know-how. In 2019 the company was dissolved following Pioneer's withdrawal from the OLED lighting market.
Dash-Insights is an independent technology market research and consulting company founded by global display expert Sweta Dash in 2015 focusing on entire display value chain and emerging display technology markets including flexible OLED and Quantum Dot.
US-based Atom Nanoelectronics was established in 2013 to develop innovative, scalable and high throughput fabrication technologies.
The company's technology was based about HiPCOT single-walled carbon nanotubes, and using these material Atom developed fully-printed CNT-TFT backplanes for AMOLED displays.
In addition to the backplane technology, Atom has invented a new OLED architecture in which the light-emitting function and electronically driving circuits are monolithically integrated, leading to less fabrication processes and low price.
It seems as if the company is no longer in business.
US-based Molecular Glasses developed a new class of organic semiconductor materials for OLED displays, branded as OLEDIQ. OLEDIQ materials can be deposited by evaporation or in solution-based processes.
Molecular Glasses focused on host materials for OLEDs, and offered red, yellow, green and blue host materials.
The company seems no longer to be in business.
Organic Lights, based in Germany, is a global supplier of OLED lighting panels and OLED lamps.
Organic Lights can supply the entire range of LG Displays' OLED panels via its online shop.
UK-based Power OLEDs was established in December 2013 to develop OLED stack materials - including high triplet-energy, high performance hole transporters, electron transporters, electron injectors, host and emitters.
The company seems no longer to be in business.
