Mitsubishi Electric to Set-up the World’s Largest OLED Globe
Mitsubishi Electric will mount a huge, 19.7 foot (approx 6 meters) wide OLED Globe at National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation at Tokyo on June 11. This could be the World’s largest and first spherical OLED screen. This new globe called as Geo-Cosmos made up with an Aluminum framed covered with 10,362 tiny OLED panels, each measuring 3.7 inch squares.
Mitsubishi says, Geo-Cosmos is originally a LED display globe and this is a replacement with OLED displays. Which means the new version is 10 times better than its predecessor in terms of pixel resolution. This Globe will collects the information from a meteorological satellite constructed above and displays the images of clouds and other views of the Earth. The Satellite is placed on the top floor of the museum which is almost 60 feet (18 m). Mitsubishi constructed this using modular Diamond Vision OLED system which was debuted at CEATEC 2009. But, it was introduced in the form of a 155-inch sized OLED display.
This iconic Globe is first showcased at an Integrated Systems Europe fair held in February2011. Mitsubishi has no plans to commercialize this product and sell. However, the company offers the OLED technology to large-scale clients for digital signage and public spaces. Accounting the museum’s 10th anniversary commemorations Mitsubishi took this initiative to display the Globe.
