Company patents
Hefei BOE Joint Technology Co., Ltd.
Hefei BOE Joint Technology Co., Ltd. demonstrates a strong, albeit shifting, focus within the display sector, with Display Drivers accounting for 70.8% of its portfolio and Organic Electronics (OLED) showing an impressive 225.0% YoY growth in 2024, indicating an emerging focus despite a partial decline so far in 2026. Surprisingly, the company appears to be significantly de-emphasizing its semiconductor-related patenting, with Integrated Circuit Layout & Arrangement declining by 37.5% in 2025 and Specialty Semiconductor Devices (Legacy) seeing a complete cessation of new patents since 2023.
