Mitsubishi's 27 Million Pixel, 340 Degree DLP Panoramic Display

Mitsubishi has designed a 2 meter tall, 7.5 meter diameter, 340 degree panoramic display. Built for a private customer the display boasts a pixel resolution of 27 million pixels (which only works out to 720p) and utilizes synchonized rear-projection displays in each of 17 panels. The system uses Texas Instruments Digital Light Processing (DLP) technology and the buying price is 150 million yen or about $1.3 million. Wow! Although the company won't reveal the customer or the intended use of the display, they hope to market it to museums as a virtual reality display or to be used for traffic simulations.
