Mitsubishi Shows Off Monster 155-inch OLED Display

While Sony, Samsung and LG are busy perfecting OLED manufacturing techniques to make viable sets in sizes up to 32 inches, Mitsubishi has  a different plan for building the gigantic OLED displays you’ve always dreamed of: Just jam a bunch of little ones together. That’s exactly what the company did at CEATAC in Japan this week when it unveiled its 155-inch OLED prototype.

The so-called Diamond Vision OLED display uses a seamless-looking patchwork of 4-inch OLED panels to produce a total display as big as your living room wall – and Mitsubishi says there’s no real limit to how far it will scale with the right number of tiles. Time Square, here we come.

Or not. Although Mitsubishi found a clever way around the scale issue that continues to plague OLED displays suitable for living-room use, the company hasn’t done anything to circumvent the relatively short lifetime of the displays. The screens are still only estimated to deliver about 20,000 hours of use, meaning any signage erected with it would fizzle out in a little over two years of continuous use.

Mitsubishi offered precious few other details on the display, including when – if ever – it would be commercially available. Video of the monolithic wonder can be found on YouTube.

It quickly evolved into a yearly compilation of world records, big and small, including last year's largest grilled cheese sandwich in the world.

While trade wars, tariffs, and wavering subsidies are very much in the cards for the auto industry in 2025, global sales of electric vehicles (EVs) are still expected to rise substantially next year, according to S&P Global Mobility.

"2025 is shaping up to be ultra-challenging for the auto industry, as key regional demand factors limit demand potential and the new U.S. administration adds fresh uncertainty from day one," says Colin Couchman, executive director of global light vehicle forecasting for S&P Global Mobility.

Given existing tariffs and what’s in store from the Trump administration, you’d be forgiven for thinking the global race toward lower electric vehicle (EV) prices will not reach U.S. shores in 2025.

After all, Chinese manufacturers, who sell the least expensive EVs globally, have shelved plans to enter the U.S. market after 100% tariffs were imposed on China-made EVs in September.
