Over 2,000 Diamond Vision displays have been
installed in Japan and abroad since 1980
Mitsubishi Electric Corporation (TOKYO:6503) announced today
that the company’s Diamond VisionTM series of outdoor large-scale
color display systems has received the prestigious IEEE Milestone
award from the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers
(IEEE). Diamond Vision is Mitsubishi Electric’s series of
proprietary displays, of which more than 2,000 have been installed
globally since the first unit was introduced at Dodger Stadium in
Los Angeles, USA in 1980. The award recognizes the prominent role
and high esteem of Diamond Vision as the world’s first outdoor
large-scale color display systems for creating impressive video
images.
Up to 1980, electric scoreboards at stadiums conventionally only
used incandescent lamps to project just letters and numbers. In
response to growing demand for screens that could project images as
beautiful as TV images at distances of up to 100 meters, Mitsubishi
Electric successfully developed a three-color (red, blue and green)
compact cathode ray tube (CRT) capable of displaying brilliant
full-color video even in sunlight. Also, the company’s new software
could be used to control images, music and other content, providing
a tremendous boost to in-game entertainment at stadiums.
“We are deeply honored to receive the IEEE Milestone for Diamond
Vision,” said Masaki Sakuyama, President and CEO of Mitsubishi
Electric. “This is the first time our company has received this
honor exclusively and it also represents the first IEEE Milestone
to be received by a company in the Kyushu region of Japan. We are
proud that Diamond Vision has continued to deliver highly
impressive video images to spectators around the world for more
than 35 years. We will continue to challenge ourselves to develop
other useful technologies that truly enrich people’s lives.”
