Introduction
U
What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
Aplasma display panel is the lates_display technology and the best way to achieve fiat panel displays with excellent image quality
and large screen sizes that are easily viewab[e_ _e PDP can be thought ofas a descendant of the neon lamp and itcan be atso
be viewed as a series of fluorescent lamps
How does it work?
PDP is an array of cells, known _ pixe_s,which are comprised of 3 sub pixe[s, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue.
Gas in a plasma state isused to react withphosphors in each subopixel to produce coJored Jight(red, green, or blue). These phos-
phors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tu_ (CRT) devices such as televisions and com_n computer monitors.
You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect. Each sub=pixe[ is individually controlled by advanced electronics to produce over
16 mimiion 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 ft_ pane[ p_asma screen offers an exception_[y broad viewing angle --over 160 degrees. This means that the dispmay is
dear _d visible to viewers anywhere in the room who can see the screen,
Wide Screen
The screen of the Plasma Disptay is so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater,
Multimedia
Connect your p[asma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing games, and _nternet browsing The Picture-in-Picture
feature a_[ows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously
Versatile
The light weight and thin size makes it easy to in_aJl your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs will not
fit.
The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few minute colored dots may _ present on the PDP _reen
The PDP (Plasma Display Pane_), which is the disptay device of this preduct:_ is composed of 0,9 to 2,2 miltion cell& A few sell
defects will norrr_ify occur in the PDP manufacturing prece_ Several tiny_ minute colored dots visible on the screen should be
acceptabie, This a_so occurs in other PDP manufacturers' products, The tiny dots ap_aring does not mean that this PDP is defec-
tive Thus a few celt defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be exchanged or returned. Our production technology mini _
mizes these ceil defects during the manufa_ure and operation of this product
