Company patents
Wuhan BOE Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd.
Wuhan BOE Optoelectronics Technology Co., Ltd. demonstrates a strong, albeit shifting, focus on display technologies, with Liquid Crystal & Optical Modulators and Display Drivers together comprising over 80% of its patent portfolio. While these core display categories saw significant growth in 2024 (e.g., Liquid Crystal & Optical Modulators at +100.0% YoY), the company is also surprisingly expanding into Semiconductor Diodes & Transistors, which emerged with 5 patents in 2025 from zero in prior years, indicating an emerging focus on underlying semiconductor components despite a -40.0% YoY decline so far in 2026.
