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.
