What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
A plasma display pane_is the _atestdisplay technology and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality
and large screen sizes that are easily viewabie, Re PDP c_ be thought of as a descend_t of the neon lamp and it can be also
be viewed as a series of fluorescent _amps.
How does it work?
POP is an array of c_tls, known as pixe_s, which are comprised of 3sub pi×els, cerres_nding to the colors ted, green, and blue.
Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixe_ 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 rr_nitors.
You get the rich, dynamic cetors that you expect. Each sub_pi×e{ is individually controlled by advanced e_ectronics to produce over
16 million different colors. All dthis means 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
"four flat panel plasma screen offers _ exceptionally broad viewing angle =oover 160 degrees. This means that the display is
clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room who can see the screen.
Wide Screen

Multimedia
Connect your plasn-_ display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and tnternet browsing, The Picture-imPicture
feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously,
Versatile
The light weight and thin size _kes it easy to in_t your pJasma display in a vadety of locationswhere conventional TVs wiI] not
fit.
The PDP Manufacturing Pr_ess: afew minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen
The PDP (Plasma Display Panel)_ which is the display device ef this product is compo_d of 0,9 to 22 million cet[s, A few cell
defects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. _veral 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 deles=
five, Thus a few celt defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned, Our production technology mini-
