Recently, EK Investment completed its investment in Nanjing YunGuang Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as YunGuang Technology). The funds raised in this round of financing will support the research and development upgrade of the company's 4K silicon-based micro-displays and TCON driver chips, as well as the improvement of 8-inch production line technology and industrialization services. Additionally, following this financing round, the company will further strengthen its talent system and accelerate product development progress with key downstream customers, laying a solid foundation for the construction of the 12-inch production line.
YunGuang Technology was established in November 2019, formerly known as YunGuang Microelectronics founded in 2016. Its founder, Ji Yuan, has a 20-year industry background and completed the first domestic doctoral dissertation in the field of silicon-based OLED micro-displays. YunGuang Technology has independent research and development of backplane driver chips and TCON chips, with full intellectual property rights. It possesses an 8-inch silicon-based OLED production line and a complete manufacturing system, and has established expertise in microelectronics and optoelectronics technology. With a professional team with over ten years of experience in silicon-based micro-display mass production, the company provides integrated solutions ranging from chips to devices, from customized products to personalized services.
YunGuang Technology has effectively leveraged its independent research and development solutions to harness the display advantages of silicon-based OLED technology while successfully addressing the cost issues associated with large-scale industrialization of silicon-based OLEDs. In terms of technology, YunGuang Technology has employed a unique digital driving scheme for silicon-based OLED technology, achieving many achievements superior to traditional driving schemes. In 2023, the company illuminated and optimized a 1.32-inch 2.5K silicon-based micro-display, successfully accessing international customers, and achieving large-scale production on the 8-inch production line.
The next generation of information technology revolution is looming, and the XR industry is entering an inevitable track of historical development. As the control portal for integrated information terminals, displays have become a key focus from the national level down to enterprises. In the race for micro-displays for VR/MR applications, traditional Fast-LCD displays fall short in performance, while the implementation of Micro-LED technology faces limitations. On the other hand, Micro-OLED (or silicon-based OLED) holds promising commercial prospects and is poised to capture the upcoming market explosion. In the future, YunGuang Technology will embark on the design and development of the next generation 4K silicon-based OLED microdisplay chip, while also focusing on the introduction and training of technical teams to vigorously establish a 12-inch silicon-based OLED production line. The company will pursue multiple avenues simultaneously and actively expand into international markets, strengthening communication and cooperation with international partners.
