What is
a
Plasma
Display
Panel
(PDP)?
A plasma display panel is the latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality
and
large
screen
sizes that
are
easily
viewable. The PDP
can
be
thought
of
as a
descendant of the
neon
lamp
and it
can
be also
be viewed
as a
series of fluorescent
lamps.
How does it work?
PDP is
an
array of
cells,
known
as
pixels,
which
are
comprised
of 3 sub
pixels, corresponding to
the colors
red,
green, and blue.
Gas in
a
plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red,
green, or
blue). These phos-
phors
are
the
same
types
used in Cathode
Ray
Tube
(CRT)
devices such
as
televisions and
common
computer
monitors.
You
get
the rich, dynamic colors that you
expect.
Each sub-pixel is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce
over
16 million different colors. All of these
mean
that you
get perfect images
that
are
easily
viewable in
a
display
that is less than 5
inches thick.
160°
-
Wide
angle
range
of vision
Your flat panel plasma
screen
offers
an
exceptionally broad viewing angle
--
over
160 degrees. This
means
that the display is
clear and visible to viewers
anywhere
in the
room
who
can see
the
screen.
Wide Screen
The
screen
of the Plasma
Display
is
so
wide that your
viewing experience
is
as
if you
are
in
a
theater.
Multimedia
Connect your
plasma display to
a
PC and you
can use
it for
conferencing,
games, and Internet
browsing.
The Picture-in-Picture
feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.
Versatile
The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in
a
variety of locations where conventional TVs will not
fit.
The PDP
Manufacturing
Process:
a
few minute colored dots may be
present
on
the PDP
screen
The PDP
(Plasma Display Panel),
which is the
display
device of this
product,
is
composed
of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few cell
defects will
normally
occur
in the PDP
manufacturing
process. Several
tiny,
minute colored dots visible
on
the
screen
should be
acceptable. This also
occurs
in other PDP manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing does not
mean
that this PDP is defec-
tive. Thus
a
few cell defects
are
not
sufficient
cause
for the PDP
to
be
exchanged
or
returned. Our
production technology
mini-
mizes these cell defects
during
the manufacture and
operation
of this
product.
