Panorama VisionMitsubishi Electric Corporation has completed installation of Japan’s largest digital signage system at Narita International Airport, comprising 100 display units made up of a total of 336 display panels, including Panorama Vision, an organic light-emitting display (OLED) screen. The system, which covers all passenger terminal areas, displays airport news, entertainment programs and advertisements as well as relaxing imagery, including “Living Japan”, which depicts the natural scenery of Japan, and “Aquarium Japan,” which shows marine life.
