June 8, 2010... Mitsubishi Electric reports that it has completed installation of a 17m x 7m Diamond Vision LED screen that will serve as the main display at Hakodate Racecourse. The main display system in Hakodate, Hokkaido Japan, features high brightness LEDs aligned in a 10 mm dot pitch. According to the company, the split-screen display can simultaneously showcase two screens of content, such as live footage of a race or the paddock on one screen and race odds and other data on the other.

The display will begin operating on the day of Hakodate Racecourse's grand opening of a new stand, June 19, 2010. The display will replace the old facility’s CRT main display, also built and installed by Mitsubishi Electric Corporation in 1996.

Hakodate Racecourse also has a 15m x 8m, 659-inch Diamond Vision screen featuring LEDs aligned in 8mm dot pitch. Mitsubishi Electric installed the display known as the "Paddock Theater" on February 27, 2010. It shows both live images and racing odds from other racecourses for off-track betting.

Mitsubishi Electric's most recent display installation at a racetrack was a massive 4,255-inch screen at Meydan Racecourse in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, in January 2010.
