6 Plasma TV
Introduction
Introduction
Introduction
What is
a
Plasma
Display
Panel
(PDP)?
A
plasma display panel
is the latest
display technology
and the best
way
to achieve flat
panel displays
with excellent
image quality
and
large
screen sizes that are
easily
viewable. The PDP can be
thought
of as a descendant of the neon
lamp
and 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 3 sub
pixels, corresponding
to the colors
red,
green,
and blue.
Gas in a
plasma
state is used to react with
phosphors
in each
sub-pixel
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
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. All of this 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
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 who can see the screen.
Wide Screen
The screen of the Plasma
Display
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 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 will not
fit.
The PDP
Manufacturing
Process:
a few
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
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 defec-
tive. Thus a few cell defects are not sufficient cause for the PDP to be
exchanged
or returned. Our
production technology
mini-
mizes these cell defects
during
the manufacture and
operation
of this
product.
Cooling
Fan
Noise
(DU-50PX10 only)
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.
