Introduction
The Panasonic 3D Plasma TV uses what’s called “Frame Sequential Method”. By using this
method, the TV outputs alternating imagery at 60 frames per second to each eye. The brain
then combines the images and interprets them as 3D.
The PDP high-speed light emission technology utilized to display high-picture quality full HD
video images for the left and right eyes in frame sequential is unique to Panasonic.
The Panasonic 3D PDP utilizes new phosphor technology for “real deep black and
unsaturated brightness,” and employ proprietary 3D drive technology circuitry to minimize
crosstalk between alternating images.

Features
Full HD 3D Technology
For a true Full 1080p 3D image, Panasonic’s VT25 Series features new, faster screen phosphors
(short-stroke) which, when coupled with the VIERA VT25’s 600Hz sub-field drive, outputs
alternating imagery at 60 frames per second to each eye. Working in unison with the required
Active Shutter Eyewear, the human brain then combines the images and interprets them as a Full
HD 3D image for the highest possible realistic visual experience; in effect mimicking what the
human eye sees in real life.
Active Shutter Eyewear
All Panasonic VIERA VT25 Series models come with one pair of Panasonic 3D Active Shutter
Eyewear (TY-EW3D10U). Additional pairs of Panasonic 3D Eyewear are available at retail with an
SRP of $149.95.
Infinite Black Pro Panel
A new phosphor technology that produces deep blacks (5,000,000:1 native contrast)2 and vivid
images with minimal reflection.

Ensures that every Panasonic Full HD 3D TV displays motion pictures and television content with
exactly the quality and color palette that the director intended.

New Plasma Display Panel
1 - Enlarged Discharge Area (improves brightness and contrast with less power
consumption)
The new cell structure, materials, and phosphors made it possible to enlarge the
discharge area of each cell. This increases both brightness and contrast, so you enjoy a
bright, vibrant picture while using less energy.
Slide 10
The new panel used on the 2010 3D plasma TVs has 3 areas of improvement:
1. Enlarge discharge area.
2. New filter.
3. Reduced pre-discharge.
