Introduction
Introduction
Introduction
What is a Plasma
Display
Panel
(PDP)?
If
voltage
is
applied
to
gas
within
glass panels,
ultraviolet
rays
are
produced
and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that
instant,
light
is emitted. A Plasma
Display
is a next
generation
flat
Display using
this
phenomenon.
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.
Wide Screen
The screen of the Plasma
Display
is 42" 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 would
not fit.
The
PDP
Manufacturing
Process:
Why
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 minute colored dots visible on the screen should be
accept-
able. This also occurs in other PDP manufacturers'
products
and the
tiny
dots
appearing
does not mean that this PDP is defective.
Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be
exchanged
or returned. Our
production technology
is
designed
to minimize cell defects
during
the manufacture and
operation
of this
product.
Cooling
Fan Noise
In the same
way
that a fan is used in a PC
computer
to
keep
the CPU
(Central Processing Unit)
cool,
the PDP is
equipped
with
cooling
fans to cool the Monitor and
improve
its
reliability.
Therefore,
a certain level of noise could occur while the fans are
operat-
ing
and
cooling
the PDP.
The fan noise doesn't have
any negative
effect on the PDP's
efficiency
or
reliability.
The noise from these fans is normal
during
the
operation
of this
product.
We
hope you
understand that a certain level of noise from the
cooling
fans is
acceptable
and is not suffi-
cient cause for the PDP to be
exchanged
or returned.
WARNING
TO REDUCE THE RISK OF FIRE AND ELECTRIC
SHOCK,
DO NOT EXPOSE THIS PRODUCT TO
RAIN OR MOISTURE.
