Mitsubishi Electric installs 6-metre diameter OLED globe at a science museum: this Diamond Vision OLED Geo-Cosmos display is the world's first spherical OLED screen.
Installed at the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, the OLED Geo-Cosmos display will be unveiled on June 11th.
Hanging 18 metres from the floor, the globe is an aluminum sphere covered with 10,362 OLED panels, each measuring 96 x 96 millimetres.
Mitsubishi Electric used its scalable OLED technologies to create the globe, which replaces a previous globe of LEDs, to commemorate the museum's 10th anniversary. The globe will display scenes of clouds and other visions of the earth taken from a meteorological satellite. The display delivers a resolution of more than 10 million pixels, about 10X greater than that of the legacy LED display.
In addition to Mitsubishi Electric, which created the OLED system, three other companies helped to make the OLED Geo-Cosmos display: Dentsu undertook project planning, Go and Partners developed the image-processing and transmission system, and GK Tech Inc. created the spheroid design.
