Founded in 2010 by Whitney Gaynor and George Burkhard, the company is headquartered in San Carlos, California. ? Sinovia's innovative approach leverages roll-to-roll printing techniques, similar to those used in newspaper production, to create thin, lightweight, and flexible OLED displays. This method enables the production of high-quality displays at a lower cost, making them suitable for a variety of applications, including integration onto curved surfaces. The company has been involved in projects funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, focusing on developing integrated plastic substrates for OLED lighting. These substrates serve multiple functions, such as protecting the OLED from environmental factors, acting as a transparent conductive anode, and enhancing light outcoupling to improve efficiency. As of 2023, Sinovia Technologies has raised approximately $10.7 million in funding over three rounds, with investors including Pegasus Tech Ventures and Fenox Venture Capital. ? Here's an overview of the founders of Sinovia Technologies and the company's current direction: Founders: Whitney Gaynor : Whitney holds a Bachelor of Science in Materials Science and Engineering from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), and both a Master of Science and a Ph.D. in the same field from Stanford University.
