Tokyo, Japan--Mitsubishi Electric Corporation is launching "Diamond Vision OLED," calling it the world's first large-scale display system in the 100 inch and above range that uses organic light-emitting diode (OLED) technology as its light source. Sales will begin worldwide on September 21.
Mitsubishi says its Diamond Vision OLED, designed for indoor use, delivers seamless, vivid images using Mitsubishi Electric's newly developed video controlling technology. The screen offers wide horizontal and vertical viewing angles reaching approximately ± 80 degrees, and features a maximum brightness of 1200 cd per square meter and twice the contrast of its LED product, making it suitable for installation in relatively brightly lit areas such as commercial facilities, stations, and airports.
Built by connecting a number of standard OLED modules each measuring 384 mm both in height and width and weighing eight kilograms each, the Diamond Vision OLED is scalable and can be designed to flexibly form a certain size or shape, even against rounded surfaces. The screen's 99 mm depth enables it to be installed in limited spaces such as narrow paths and station concourses.
The product's OLED device, jointly developed between Mitsubishi Electric and Tohoku Pioneer Corporation, creates light by a process of electro-luminescence (EL). Each pixel consists of an anode and cathode separated by a thin, organic membrane.
Mitsubishi Electric's Diamond Vision OLED will be showcased at the company's booth at CEATEC JAPAN 2010, scheduled for October 5-9 at Makuhari Messe in Chiba, Japan.
