mitsubishi 155in oled display.jpgSpeaking of large displays - building-vertising - here's another, but on a slightly smaller scale. Check out Mitsubishi's 155-inch OLED display, which can apparently be expanded to any size, as smaller displays can be combined together.

This particular monster is made from 720 10-centimeter square panels, and it was shown off at the CEATEC (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technologies) show in Japan, states Technabob.
 
Aside from minimizing costs, the modular design also makes it possible to build a curved display, it writes.

It's based on Mitsubishi's Diamond Vision technology - which we've mentioned before in relation to the Guinness-world-record-holding Dallas Cowboys above-field display - and the company apparently quotes an estimated lifetime of 20,000 hours, around two-and-a-half years, before the pixels degrade.

Aimed at outdoor advertising, there is no word on when it will be availble, or the cost.

If you want to see more, here's a video:
