PDP Technology
In a PDP unit, a gas fills the
spaces between two glass sheets
which are lined up in parallel
separated by a gap just 100 to
200 microns wide. UV light is
generated by discharging this gas
using electrodes. Red, green and
blue fluorescent substances
absorb these UV discharges and
then re-radiate the energy as
visible light to produce the colors
that appear on the screen.
Lightweight Unit Design
In addition to their slender proportions, PDP units are also ultra-light
in weight, two features that make these revolutionary displays ideal
for wall- or ceiling-mounting installation.
A Wider Viewing Angle
PDPs provide an effective visual field angle of more than 160
degrees both horizontally and vertically. Spectators can enjoy sharp
on-screen images from almost any viewing point, not just from
immediately in front of the screen.
Accurate Display Characteristics
PDPs incorporate a true flat panel screen which ensures accurate
and distortion-free images all the way out to the screen corners.
Instant setup and convergence free operation assures the image
quality will never change.
Free From Magnetic Interference
PDPs are not affected by magnetic fields, so they can be used close
to loudspeakers without risk of screen distortion due to magnetic
interference.
A Large Screen in an Extremely Thin Package
Unlike conventional CRTs or projection displays, PDP has
extraordinarily slim dimensions relative to its large screen size.

PDP Operating Principle
Providing a Large Screen in a Lightweight
and
Ultra-Slim Package, the Plasma Display
Panel (PDP) is a Next-Generation
Large-screen PDP units boast ultra-slim dimensions, are
surprisingly light in weight and deliver superb picture quality -
a combination of features that open up a host of
opportunities in the visual presentation field, especially in
the current HDTV/DVD era. As the advantages of PDPs
over conventional CRT and projection-type video
displays become increasingly apparent, PIONEER's
next-generation PDP technology has established itself
as a core element in all kinds of public display and
visual communication systems. The launch of this
new model, with its further improved picture
quality and durability, represents a major
triumph for PIONEER, which has continued to
lead the industry in developing and mass
producing PDPs from its early days.
