Giant Globe Made Of Over 10 000 OLED Panels


Tokyo's National Musuem of Emerging Science and Innovation recently unveiled a 20-foot globe made of exactly 10 362 OLED panels displaying the surface of our planet as seen from Space. The displays are constantly updated with satellite footage.

Built by Mitsubishi in commemoration of the musuem's 10th anniversary, this globe is in fact a replacement to the museum's earlier LED version. The new OLED "Geo-Cosmos" globe, as it is called, will provide 10 times the resolution (10 million pixels) compared to its predecessor.

The Geo-Cosmos globe currently hangs 60 feet (18 m) above the museum floor and is certainly an impressive sight to see.
