Mitsubishi Electric has delivered a spherical large-scale visual information system featuring organic light-emitting display (OLED) to the National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation (Miraikan) in Tokyo for use in its Geo-Cosmos Project exhibit.
     The Miraikan was established as a hub for sharing cutting-edge science and technology with all parts of society. Celebrating its tenth anniversary this year, the museum reopened the Geo-Cosmos exhibit in the Symbol Zone on June 11 after replacing the LED illumination first used in the “Globe-like display” with OLED technology.Mitsubishi Electric’s Diamond Vision OLED systems are scalable, which means

Geo-Cosmos in construction

screens can be configured in a variety of shapes and sizes by connecting together lightweight and very high-definition OLED panels. For the Geo-Cosmos exhibit, the OLED panels have been configured in a large-scale spherical display representing the Earth. 10,362 panels each measuring 96mm square cover an aluminum frame to create a spherical display six meters in diameter which is suspended from the ceiling at a height of 18 meters above the floor. At the very-high definition of 10 million pixels, more than ten times that possible with conventional LED panels, the new display projects ultra-sharp images of cloud movements, the changing seasons and other guises of the Earth as seen from space using imaging data captured from weather satellites.
     Mitsubishi Electric will be seeking to expand its sales of scalable screens that exploit to maximum advantage the characteristics of OLED technology in spherical or curved surface displays.
