 Dubbed the "Oscars of Innovation", the R&D 100  awards recognise the world’s top 100 breakthrough technology products of the year. Mitsubishi’s OLED display technology achieved recognition in the 2011 Electrical Devices category. The team from Mitsubishi Electric’s Kamakura R&D facility, headed by Kazuya Maeshima, shared the top prize with development partners Tohoku Pioneer Corporation.

 Mitsubishi’s Diamond Vision OLED screen is a revolutionary approach to large format displays. Screens are made up of any number of 384mm square modules, each containing 128 x 128 passive OLED pixels. These modules can be assembled in virtually any configuration to create screens of any shape or size. The OLED modules are extremely thin, which allows unique three dimensional screens to be created. In 2011, Mitsubishi revealed the world’s first spherical OLED display – the stunning 6m diameter digital representation of the Earth installed at the Miraikan Museum in Tokyo.

At ISE 2012, Mitsubishi will demonstrate the unique versatility of the Diamond Vision OLED screen by recreating a section of the Miraikan globe on its stand, Hall 2 A24. Measuring 3m across, the screen is fully curved in three dimensions. The unique shape, combined with its 3mm pixel pitch and light output of 1,200 cd/m², creates an extremely striking display which is sure to create much interest among visitors to the RAI.

Diamond Vision OLED will form the centrepiece of a stunning digital signage installation at Tokyo’s Narita airport later this year. The system – which will be Japan’s largest ever digital signage project – will feature a 180º concave Diamond Vision OLED screen. Due to complete by Summer 2012, the "Panorama Vision" screen will be the only system of its type in the world.

The new VC-MK4000 is the latest generation display wall image processor from Mitsubishi, allowing multiple windows to be overlaid on a display wall system in very high quality. The high-bandwidth system architecture allows all windows to be displayed in real time with no dropped frames to ensure the best possible picture quality. The VC-MK4000 is ideal for high-end control room applications where reliability and premium performance are essential requirements.

The VC-MK4000 can be configured to drive either 16 displays, with four windows per display, or eight displays with eight possible window overlays. Each window displays RGB at 1920 x 1200 pixels (WUXGA) or video at 1920 x 1080 pixels (Full HD). All windows are displayed at native refresh rates, irrespective of the number of inputs shown or their type. Up to 32 VC-MK4000 units can be daisy-chained to allow up to 256 displays to be controlled as a single system -each one capable of showing eight overlaid windows, or a total of 32 windows per system.

 As well as operating as a standalone unit, Mitsubishi can supply the VC-MK4000 combined with an optional PC platform (Base Computer) to allow the increased versatility of operating system access and user-configurable output graphics cards. A new version of Mitsubishi’s display wall software, D-Wall5, will also be launched at ISE 2012.

   Mitsubishi Electric’s ODT6S LED screen has been designed specifically to provide a competitively priced, high-quality outdoor screen that’s easy to install and inexpensive to maintain.

The 6.7mm pitch 5000 cd/m² ODT6S uses a unique new waterproof 3-in-1 LED package developed by Mitsubishi for high reliability. Its simplified construction means that the panels are exceptionally slim at just 50mm, and very light at under 25kg. Installation can be accomplished quickly and easily without the need for heavy lifting equipment.

Dec 2011, Mitsubishi Expands Public Display Line-up

Mitsubishi Electric has commissioned a major stadium screen installation for the newly-opened Wroclaw Stadium in south west Poland. The 42,771 capacity stadium will be the main venue for the UEFA Euro 2012 soccer tournament as well as an impressive range of other major cultural, entertainment and sporting events planned for the coming year. The two 98 square meter screens overlook opposite ends of the stadium and have already been used successfully at several high profile music and sporting events.

Working closely with local long-term partner and AV integrator, Shadok Audio-Visual, Mitsubishi supplied the two 12.8m by 7.68m screens, consisting of its recently introduced Diamond Vision ODX8 LED screen modules. Each 15:9 aspect ratio screen offers a native resolution of 1600 by 960 pixels at 6000 cd/m², delivering extremely high-quality images in all lighting conditions. The screens are driven by Mitsubishi’s latest and most advanced digital display controller, the XDC-6000. The controllers feature Mitsubishi’s dynamic gamma correction technology and MPEG noise reduction to greatly enhance the contrast and clarity of the image. The XDC-6000’s unique interlace to progressive scan conversion algorithm significantly reduces artifacts from the fast-moving content often encountered at sporting events. In conjunction with Mitsubishi’s Natural Colour Matrix colour space control, these features deliver a screen performance of startling quality.

Mitsubishi’s Diamond Vision ODX8 screen is the latest offering in the Diamond Vision range, designed in response to an increasingly competitive global market for LED screens. A new 8mm pitch vertical delta LED configuration together with other enhancements has enabled Mitsubishi to balance excellent performance and long-term reliability with very competitive pricing – factors which has helped it secure several more major stadium projects, including further landmark installations currently underway in Europe and the USA.
