Royole creates and manufactures advanced flexible displays, sensors, and consumer electronics.

In 2015, Royole launched and started mass production of the world’s first foldable virtual mobile theater device, Royole-X. The company has also created Moon, a 3D virtual reality headset that features ultra-high-resolution displays, noise-cancelling headphones, foldable design, and a proprietary operating system to connect to unlimited movies and music.
In its announcement, the company said the funding will help Royole invest more in research and development, production, and sales to accelerate the company’s growth.
