5月2日訊SFA工程公司宣布，已經與柔宇簽署一項價值5350萬美元的OLED制造設備合同。但SFA沒有透露它將提供什么樣的設備。

　　柔宇正在深圳興建一條5.5代的柔性OLED生產線。該產線計劃于2018年開始運行，每月可生產45000塊基板。

　　去年11月，柔宇宣布從幾家風險投資公司募集8000萬美元，估值為30億美元。自從2012年成立以來，柔宇只籌集了2.8億美元，但由于生產線成本需要17億美元，所以柔宇需要更多的資金。

　　除了柔性OLED生產和研發外，柔宇還開發VR頭盔。在2016年，柔宇推出了第一款采用OLED微型顯示屏的產品，即柔宇頭戴式VR觀影新設備“Moon”，像素密度達到3000PPI。799美元的Moon還配備有源降噪耳機，采用可折疊設計，并搭配自己開發的系統Moon OS。這些微型顯示器是柔宇生產還是外購的，還不清楚。

　　柔宇還在開發柔性傳感技術，并提供其IP許可證。該公司表示，它在材料、工藝、設備、電路、軟件和產品設計領域擁有超過500項專利（已發布和待批）。

　　SFA Engineering announced that it has signed a $53.5 million contract with OLED developer Royole to supply OLED manufacturing equipment. SFA did not disclose what kind of deposition equipment it will deliver exactly.

　　Royole is constructing a 5.5-Gen flexible OLED production facility in Shenzhen, China. The new fab is scheduled to begin operation in 2018 and will have a monthly capacity of 45,000 substrates.

　　In November 2016 Royola announced that it raised $80 million from several VCs, at a valuation of $3 billion. Since its inception in 2012 Royole raised $280 million, but it probably has access to more funds as the cost estimation of its production fab is around $1.7 billion.

　　In addition to flexible OLED production and R&D, Royole also develops VR headsets, and in 2016 Royole launched its first product, the Royole Moon foldable VR headset - that uses OLED microdisplays to achieve a PPI of over 3,000. The $799 Moon also includes noise-cancelling headphones and runs on the company's own Moon OS. It is not clear if Royole produces or purchases these microdisplays.

　　Royole is also developing flexible sensor technology, and offers its IP for licensing. The company says it has over 500 patents (issued and pending) - in the areas of materials, processes, devices, circuits, software and product design.
