6 Plasma TVIntroductionIntroductionWhat 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 qualityand large screen sizes that are easily viewable. The PDP can be thought of as a descendant of the neon lamp and it can be alsobe 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 over16 million different colors. All of these mean that you get perfect images that are easily viewable in a display that is less than 5inches thick. 160° - Wide angle range of visionYour flat panel plasma screen offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the display isclear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room who can see the screen. Wide ScreenThe screen of the Plasma Display is so wide that your viewing experience is as if you are in a theater. MultimediaConnect your plasma display to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and Internet browsing. VersatileThe light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs will notfit.The PDP Manufacturing Process: a few minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screenThe PDP (Plasma Display Panel), which is the display device of this product, is composed of 0.9 to 2.2 million cells. A few celldefects will normally occur in the PDP manufacturing process. Several tiny, minute colored dots visible on the screen should beacceptable. 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.
