Introduction
In! U
What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
Ap_asma display paneJ is the lates_ disp[ary technology and the best way to achieve fl_ panel displays with excellent image quality
and large screen sizes th_ are easily viewab[e, _e PDP can be thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and it can be atso
be viewed as a series of fluorescent lamps
How does it work?
PDP is an array of cedis, known _ pixeis, which are comprised of 3 sub pixe[s, c_orrespondingto the colors red, green, and blue.
Gas in a plasma state isused to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce coJored Jight(red, green, or blue). These phos-
phors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tu_ (C_) devices such as televisions and com_n computer monitors.
You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect. Each sub-pixe[ is individu_[y controlled by advanc_ed electronics to produce over
16 mimiion different colors. A[i of this means that you _t perfect images that are e_ily 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 e×ception_[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 plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing games, and _nternet browsing The Picture-imPicture
feature allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously
Versatile
The light weight and thin size makes it easy to in_l your plasma display in a variety of locations where cenvenfJonal TVs will net
fit.
The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few minute colored dots may be present on the PDP _reen
The PDP (Plasma Display Pane_), which is the disptay device of this product: is composed of 09 to 2,2 million ceils, Afew celt
defects w[H norrr_#y occur in the PDP manufacturing proce_ Several tiny, minute co_o_ed dots visible on the screen should be
acceptable, This also 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 technot_y mini-
mises these ceil defects during the manufa_ure and operation of this product,
Cooling Fan Noise
tn the same way that a fan is used in a PC computer to keep the CPU (Central Pr_essing Un_) coo[, the PDP is equipped with
cooffng fans to cool the Monitor and improve its reliability Therefore_ a certain [eve[ of noise could occur while the fans are operat_
ing and cooling the PDE
The fan noise doesn't have any neg_ive effect on the PDP's efficiency or reliability, The noise from these fans is normat during the
operation of this product_ We hope you unders_nd that a certain _evet of noise from the cooling fans is acceptable and is net suffi-
cient cause for the PDP to _ exchanged or returned,
