Christie has announced that through parent company Ushio’s co-sponsorship of a “Future Society Showcase Project” at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, that its high brightness, 3DLP RGB pure laser projectors will be used to deliver visual experiences in the main exhibition hall.

Scheduled to run from 13 April 2025, Ushio Lighting Inc. (ULI) will provide more than a dozen Christie Griffyn 4K50-RGB pure laser projectors for projection mapping during the opening and closing ceremonies, major events, as well as in support of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan’s theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” which aims to bring and share the world’s knowledge to help resolve global issues.

Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan will occupy an area measuring 1.55km² and feature eight Signature Pavilions as well as the Future Society Showcase Project, which will embrace six main projects including smart mobility, digital, virtual, art, green and future life. The mega event is expected to attract 28.2 million visitors over its six-month run.

“We are honoured that the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition is partnering with Ushio to illuminate not only the entertainment as part of the Future Society Showcase Project, but by shining a bright light on global sustainability issues and the United Nations’ 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) for 2030,” Christie chief executive and chairman Hideaki Onishi says.

“As a global lighting and technology company, Ushio and Christie employees around the world work hard to minimise our impact and improve our environmental practices. We believe light has the power to change the future.”
