JOLED Inc. (株式会社JOLED Kabushiki-gaisha JOLED) is a Japanese display technology company incorporated as the result of a consolidation of the OLED business units of Panasonic and Sony. Notable for pioneering the inkjet printing process for coating emissive materials, it is specializing in development and production of OLED displays and of which cost-effective manufacturing system.[1][2][3]
History
Panasonic and Sony, the producer of Sony XEL-1, had been developing OLED technology independently and, in July 2012, struck an agreement to jointly conduct the development to make OLED televisions commercially viable.[4] In the CES 2013, the prototypes of inkjet-printed, RGB OLED television as large as 56-inch were demonstrated by Panasonic.[5] However, aside from revealing prototypes, the pact between the two companies failed to deliver and was brought to an end in December 2013.[6]
On July 31, 2014, Sony, Panasonic and Japan Display, the display joint venture of Hitachi, Toshiba and Sony, announced plans to establish a company named JOLED by early 2015 that inherits the OLED operations of Sony and Panasonic to develop small-to-medium size OLED displays namely for tablet devices, not the bigger ones for televisions they originally had been working on, and that there is the ongoing negotiations for investment with INCJ, a public-private fund in Japan. Apart from INCJ which would inject 75 percent of startup capital, Japan Display (15%), Panasonic (5%), and Sony (5%) were set to participate as initial investors as well.[7][8]
In January 2015, JOLED formally came into operation, and reportedly started to make use of Sony's WRGB technology and Panasonic's inkjet printing method, targeting markets for tablets, laptops and signage.[9]
In 2016, Japan Display made clear of its intention to increase its stake in JOLED to more than 50 percent by the end of 2017 to bolster its own OLED business but the plan did not materialize.[10][11]
In March 2017, JOLED made its first exhibition of printed OLED displays ranging from 12 to 21 inches at the CeBIT 2017 held in Hanover, Germany. By May, the company started to sample 21-inch, 4K OLED display panels,[12] and in December, it shipped Sony a first batch of the panels for the latter's high-end medical displays, becoming the first to sell an OLED display panel manufactured with an inkjet printing technology which is considered to be more cost-effective than the existing evaporation method requiring vacuum chamber.[2][13]
In January 2018, Asus exhibited a 21-inch monitor using the JOLED panels.[14]
In March 2018, JOLED attracted fresh fundings led by Denso.[15][16] In July, JOLED started to build a mass production facility for its display panels in Nomi, Ishikawa with an aim to start operation from 2020. In November 2019, the construction of the Nomi plant has been completed.[17]
In April 2019, JOLED completed a new plant in Chiba that will post-process OLED display panels produced in the Nomi plant.[18]
In October 2019, Eizo debuted a high-end monitor featuring the 21-inch panel from JOLED kicking off the trial production in the new plants. Toyota announced an incorporation of a flexible OLED display co-developed by JOLED and Denso into its concept car, the Toyota LQ, the same year.[19][20]
In June 2020, Chinese electronics company TCL Technology invested US$281 million and took a 10.76 percent stake in JOLED which would in turn license its manufacturing technology for TCL's development of an OLED television.[21][22]
In the late 2020, JOLED announced the respective partnerships with U.S-based Rosen Aviation and Germany-based AERQ, both aviation display suppliers.[23][24]
