What is a Plasma Display Panel (POP)?
Aplasma display panet is the latest display tachno_o_ and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent image quality
and large screen sizes that are easity viewabte_ The PDP can be thought of as a descen_nt of the neon _ampand 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 3sub pixe_s, corresponding to _e colors red green, and blue_
Gas in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors ineach sub-pixel to produce colored _ight(red_ green, or Mue)_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. Afi of these mean that you get perfect images that are easily viewaMe in a dispiay that is tess than 5
inches thick,
160 _ - Wide angle range of vision
Your fiat panel p[asrr_ascreen offers an exceptionally broad viewing _g[e -- over 160 degrees. This means that the dispfay 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 ff you are in a theater.
Multimedia
Connect your piasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games_ and lntemet browsing.
Versatile
The iight weight and thin size makes it easy to instal[ your plasma display in a vadety of locations where conventional TVs wi_ not
fit
The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few minute colored dots may be present on the POP _reen
The PDP (Plasma Display Panel), which is the display device of this product, is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million ceils. A few ceil
defects wil_ normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process, Severa_ tiny, minut_ colored dots visible on the screen should be
acceptable. This _so occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products. The tiny dots appearing does not mean that this PDP is defec-
five. Thus a few cell defects are not sLffficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production tecfhnology mini
mizes these ee_l defects during the manufacture and operat]ee of this product.
