TOKYO, July 25, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — transcosmos hereby announces that in early August, the company will release MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities, an original game title by Matsui Securities, on Fortnite (*1), in partnership with BORDER, the Fortnite production studio operated by EbuAction. Fortnite is one of the most popular gaming metaverses with more than 500 million users worldwide. With this planned release, Matsui Securities will become Japan’s first securities firm to publish an original game title which incorporates elements of investment on Fortnite metaverse (*2).

transcosmos has invited LEMORION and HAGANEIRO, creators on Fortnite, to this project. The team discussed the best possible way to reach young generations, educate and enhance their financial literacy, and spread the concept of securities trading across the target audience using Fortnite.

■Background
The New NISA (Nippon Individual Savings Account) program, a revised version of the Japanese government tax-free stock investment program for individuals, kicked off in January 2024. Since then, the number of first-time investors has been on the rise, and new account openings at Matsui Securities have also been increasing (*3). Looking at the number of internet trading accounts by age group, people in their 40s and 50s are growing most significantly(*4), while those in their 20s and 30s remain low (*5). Given this, Matsui Securities believes that the firm must create opportunities for young generations to become interested in investments.
To make it happen, Matsui Securities decided to create MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities, a game with elements of investments such as the concept of price fluctuations and the trading of items using Fortnite, a popular online game among the target audience. Matsui Securities aims to help lower the hurdle for young generations to start and become interested in investments through experiencing MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities.

■Role of transcosmos
transcosmos delivers new forms of marketing services designed for young generations to help clients make the most of three leading metaverse platforms attracting generation Z and alpha, namely Fortnite, Roblox and ZEPETO. Fortnite is a popular gaming metaverse across the world, with monthly active users surpassing 5 million in Japan alone. To help Matsui Securities achieve its goal, transcosmos has invited LEMORION and HAGANEIRO, creators who publish HYPER FREEZE TAG on Fortnite, to participate in this project. The team discussed the best possible way to reach young generations, educate and enhance their financial literacy, and spread the concept of securities trading across the target audience using Fortnite. Ultimately, the team created the metaverse game, MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities.

■About MONEY TRADE FIGHT by Matsui Securities
Using collected items as capital, players try to increase their in-game money strategically by trading some of their savings while checking price fluctuations. Among players who successfully escape from a dungeon within a time limit, the highest earner becomes the winner.

CHINO, Calif., Jan. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Tianma, a leading global manufacturer of flat panel displays, is featuring an expanded portfolio of display technologies for the automotive market at CES, West Hall Meeting Rooms – W323, Las Vegas, Nevada, January 7-10.

Highlighted OLED and Micro-LED automotive products at CES 2025 include: Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display; 3D Instrument Cluster; 12.3″ LTPS Mini-LED InvisiVue™ Display; Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic Head-Up Display; and a new Light Field 3D-HUD.

Highlighted OLED and Micro-LED products include: Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display; 3D Instrument Cluster; 12.3″ LTPS Mini-LED InvisiVue™ Display; Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic Head-Up Display; and a new Light Field 3D-HUD.

Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display

Tianma’s Dual-Screen Multi-Curved Color-Matched OLED Display, developed in conjunction with Corning, offers unparalleled visual clarity in automotive applications. This innovative true-black display features a unique multi-curvature design, with a left curvature radius of R800mm for optimal driver focus, a middle curvature radius of R1140mm, and a right curvature radius of R2160mm to accommodate the passenger.

The system seamlessly bonds two color-matched 13″ OLED displays to the multi-curve cover glass made possible with Corning® ColdForm™ Technology. The result is a single, continuous screen providing an enhanced visual experience.

Equipped with advanced Stacked Layered OLED Device (SLOD) technology, this display is not only thinner and lighter but also boasts an extended lifespan, making it the perfect choice for modern vehicle interior design.

12.3″ 3D Instrument Cluster

The 12.3″ 3D Instrument Cluster is the industry’s first automotive instrument display screen that employs liquid crystal prism technology to achieve 2D/3D switchable functionality. It is also the first automotive display screen to achieve 500 pixels per inch (PPI). This instrument cluster offers real-time adjustable 3D depth, along with lossless switching between 2D and 3D modes. Additionally, the module adopts Tianma’s own light field rendering technology, providing drivers with a stable, continuous and comfortable 3D visual experience.

12.3″ LTPS High Transmissivity InvisiVue™ Mini-LED

This display features a highly transmissive decorative layer that looks like brushed metal or wood grain in the non-operating state, while the active area of the display is invisible to the user. When the display is turned on, only the image content emerges through the 80% transmissive decorative layer. The combination of a Mini-LED backlight and the high-transmissivity decorative layer yields a high-quality image for improved visual perception and user experience.

Integrated Reflective Imaging System (IRIS) Panoramic-HUD

The IRIS PHUD, independently developed by Tianma with its sophisticated optical path design, precisely projects images to the bottom edge of the vehicle’s windshield. It can adopt a triple-screen or large-size bar-shaped display layout, comprehensively covering the visual range of the driver, the center console area, and the front passenger.

Light Field 3D Head-Up Display (HUD)

The 4.1″ Light Field 3D-HUD is the industry’s first 3D-HUD display product utilizing light field rendering technology. It combines an advanced 3D picture generation unit (PGU) with an augmented reality (AR) HUD platform to provide users with realistic 3D scenes and natural depth perception effects. Compared to traditional 2D images, the 3D-HUD offers a more intuitive and immersive AR experience.

Tianma is hosting visitors at their booth in West Hall Meeting Rooms – W323. More information is also available in the Tianma press kit, accessible online at usa.tianma.com/press
