THE POWER CONSUMED BY A PLASMA DISPLAY VARIES
ACCORDING TO THE BRIGHTNESS OF EACH SCENE.
THAT’S WHY IT IS SO ENERGY-EFFICIENT.
The amount of electrical power consumed by a plasma TV varies
constantly and depends on the image displayed. “Rated Power”
(IEC60107 3.6.2)* is for measuring the power consumption of
equipment that uses a constant amount of electricity. This
makes “Rated Power” a rather inappropriate method for
determining the power consumption of plasma display devices.
What is a more effi cient way to measure the precise power
consumption of plasma TVs?
Panasonic has concluded that the most suitable method is to
measure power consumption while displaying an actual
broadcast programme. Therefore, Panasonic has adopted a
specifi cation called “Assumptive Actual Use Power
Consumption”. The consumption value is obtained by measuring
the electrical power that is consumed during selected actual
broadcast programmes for a period of ten minutes, then
multiplying the result by six.
