The National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation in Tokyo, Japan is showing what innovation is all about and has installed the first organic light-emitting display (OLED) spherical display in its foyer. The 6m diameter Diamond Vision OLED from Mitsubishi is a Globe called “Geo-Cosmos.”
Unveiled in June 11th the Globe is Hanging 18 metres from the floor. The aluminium sphere is covered with 10,362 OLED panels, each measuring 96 x 96 millimetres.
Mitsubishi used its scalable OLED technologies to create the globe, which replaces a previous globe comprised 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 10 times greater than that of the LED display.

Mitsubishi’s Diamond Vision OLED system is a scalable OLED display technology, affording the company a unique market position in the supply of non-linear display applications worldwide.
