Mitsubishi Electric declared that it has completed the installation of a 6 m organic light-emitting display (OLED) globe in Japan’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation. The OLED "Geo-Cosmos" display, considered to be the first ever large-scale spherical OLED screen, will be unveiled at the museum on 11th June. Cover

The OLED globe is made of aluminum sphere and wrapped with 10,362 OLED panels. Each globe, measuring 96x96 mm, was installed to commemorate the 10th anniversary of the museum. The company utilized its easy-to-upgrade OLED technologies to produce the globe, which substitutes an existing globe utilizing light emitting diodes. Projections from the globe will have a resolution of over 10 million pixels, which is around 10 times more than a LED display. The OLED globe will exhibit pictures of clouds and other sights of the earth captured from a meteorological satellite.

Along with Mitsubishi Electric, three more companies had assisted in making the OLED globe. Go and Partners had developed the required image-processing and transmissions system, Dentsu assisted in project planning and GK Tech prepared the design for the spheroid.
