Mitsubishi Electric Installs 600-inch Diamond Vision Screen at Kumamoto
Japanese electronics firm Mitsubishi Electric has installed a 13.2m by 7.6m display composed of high luminance LEDs with a 12.5 mm pitch.
This display replaces an electric discharge tube screen and offers improvements in terms of brightness and resolution. In addition, the new screen delivers an 80 percent improvement in energy consumption over its predecessor.
Equipped with the latest digital screen controllers, the display will showcase live videos in high-definition in the multiple-use athletics stadium. The venue is one of the main home stadiums for J2 soccer team Roasso Kumamoto.
Mitsubishi has previously installed smaller Diamond Vision LCD screens in soccer stadiums worldwide. Strengths of this display are said to be an extremely wide viewing angle, and good viewing conditions in any weather conditions, including bright, direct sunlight.
The Japanese firm aims to expand its business further in giant displays for other sports facilities including public athletics stadiums.
