Yeolight Technology was spun-off Visionox in May 2015 to act as an independent company focusing on OLED lighting. The company produces and supplies OLED lighting panels.
In November 2016 Yeolight introduced its first OLED lamp, using panels acquired from LG Display. Since then the company started to produce its own lighting panels, and in 2017 announced it is targeting the automotive market (among other markets).
