About Us
The closest path from your engineer’s desk to a manufacturing line.
Orient Display manufactures custom LCD, OLED, and TFT displays for industrial OEMs. Founded in Shenzhen in 1996 and headquartered in Bellevue, Washington since 2008, now 30 years operating, 3,600 employees, and 88 Fortune 500 customers across automotive, medical, and appliances.
We are the manufacturer, not a reseller
Orient Display was founded in Shenzhen, China in 1996, opened our Toronto office in 2000, and established US headquarters in Bellevue, Washington in 2008. Our Bellevue team handles customer engagement, contracts and engineering support for North American clients.
Production sites in China, Thailand and Malaysia give customers who need non-China origin a choice. You buy direct from the factory under a North American contract.
Factory pricing, because we are the manufacturer, and a technical contact in your timezone who coordinates production directly.
Real engineering support in your timezone, your language, your contracts. Bellevue, Markham. Not a Chinese factory with an English website.
