ABOUT PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL

Image Retention of Plasma Display

The plasma display has one of characteristics that results in panel image retention depending on how the plasma display is used. The following are the common reasons for and effective preventive measures against the image retention.

Characteristics of Image Retention

- Image retention is caused by partial degrading the phosphor due to the partial display of character and figure.

- For example, when the characters as shown in Fig. A are displayed continuously for a long period of time, only the phosphors (Red/Green/Blue) displaying the characters are degraded. Consequently, when displaying an all white image on the entire screen as shown in Fig. a, the marks remaining by the characters will show color differences; therefore, note that it is not burnt remains of the phosphors.

- The degree of image retention is proportional to the Brightness and Display Time for the characters and/or figures.

- The brighter the characters and figure, the more phosphor is degraded. As shown in Fig. B, in case of displaying images that have different brightness each for a long time, Fig. b shows that the brighter the image, the more it tends to remain.

[Fig. B] [Fig. b]

* The illustrations are images to explain image retention. The actual manners on the image retention vary depending on such conditions as operation time and brightness.

Method to Reduce Image Retention

- Use "Screen Wipe" function on the display, which are available from Function Menu. (Refer to 26.)

After displaying certain images such as still image for a long time, "Screen Wipe" can be used to reduce the image retention by displaying a completely white screen for about 1\~2 hours.

- Use in combination with moving images.

Since the entire screen has relatively even degradation of the phosphor in moving images, it can reduce the partial image retention. We recommend to use together with such moving images as DVD.

  • Please be careful that leaving the images in freeze mode for a long period of time can cause image retention.
  • Some television broadcasts contain images of which cut the left/right or top/bottom, and in which broadcast station identity or a clock is displayed for a long time at the same position. Please be aware that it may cause image retention.

Common Characteristics of Plasma Display Panels

The following are the common characteristics of Plasma Display Panels due to structural reasons. Please note that they are not malfunctions.

- Residual image

When a still image or menu is displayed on the screen for a short time (about a minute) and then switches to another image, it may leave an “after-image” on the screen.

The residual image will disappear on its own.

• Surface on Panel

The plasma panel displays images by generating discharges internally. This could raise the temperature of the display surface. In addition, do not allow any forceful impact to the surface of panel because plasma panel is fine-processing glass even though the panel strengthens by the front filter made of tempered glass.

• Defective Pixels on Panel

The plasma display panel is manufactured with high-precision technology. However, there might be some pixels that do not light, are brighter than the others, or in different colors, etc.

FEATURES

Enjoy not only beautiful and high-quality pictures on the display, but also various kinds of useful and convenient functions in your daily life!

• Large-screen and high-definition plasma display.
- Enjoy high resolution display with 1280 (H) x 1080 (V) pixels.

Precautions when connecting the aerial

  • Please use a coaxial cable which is free from interference to connect the aerial. Avoid using a parallel flat feeder wire as interference may occur, causing reception to be unstable and stripe noise to appear on the screen.
  • Avoid using indoor aerial as this may be affected by interference. Please use CATV net or outdoor aerial.
  • For safety, install an external aerial conforming to AS1417.1.
  • If noise appears in the picture of VHF-Low band channel, please use a double-shielded cable (not provided) for RF LEADS to reduce the noise.
