Newly Developed Panel Pushes the Previous Limits of Illumination Efficiency
New True Matrix Imaging Technology Makes
On-Screen Images Brighter Than Ever
PIONEER's newly developed Encased Cell Structure ensures superior
illumination efficiency by increasing phosphor surface area and eliminating light
leakage from the neighboring above and below cells, thereby improving clarity
in the vertical direction. In addition, this arrangement increases the amount of
light produced resulting in brighter on-screen images.
Black Stripes Greatly Improve Contrast
Especially in Bright Locations
The new black stripes on the panel's non-luminous front section reduce the
amount of external light reflected off the screen surface to effectively double the
on-screen image contrast when the display is used in bright locations. Thanks
to this innovation, viewers can enjoy sharp pictures, even under bright ambient
lighting conditions, with no reduction in black contrast.
Improved Blue Phosphor Makes On-Screen
Whites Even Whiter
PIONEER's new plasma display achieves more brilliant white reproduction
thanks to the employment of an improved blue phosphor that features an
improved illumination efficiency balance. The color temperature can be set by
changing the color balance controls.* Our new phosphor development brings
enhanced white reproduction and sharper contrast to every image.
*These values have individually adjusted high and low levels. Once adjusted, color balance settings can be
set into one of two color memories for each type of input. All of these adjustments can be done via a
wireless remote or RS-232C control.
Digital High Density Image Scaling Technology Achieves 8 Times
the Normal NTSC Signal Density for the Ultimate in High-Picture
Quality
PIONEER's exclusive Digital Signal Processor (DSP) - Digital High Density Image Scaling
Technology - uses progressive conversion to boost the NTSC picture quality by first
doubling interlaced signal to VGA level. Then, by interpolation and estimation, doubles the
information content in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The result is an 8-fold
increase in original signal density that optimizes picture reproduction. Together with the
high-definition panel this technology ensures very smooth picture reproduction.
Moreover, in an industry first, PIONEER's Digital High Density Image Scaling Technology
also succeeds in doubling the 1080i HD signal density, which means viewers can enjoy
superb high-definition pictures that no CRT-based system can match.
Continuous Emission Display Technology Realizes Improved
Contrast in Dark Image Sections and Eliminates False Contours
Most plasma displays require a continuous fixed discharge level, known as the reset
level, in order to display an image. The problem is that if this level is too high, it can
produce negative display qualities. However, PIONEER's original Continuous Emission
Display Technology has succeeded in almost eliminating the need for a Rest Level.
This allows the PDP-502MX to achieve a deeper and firmer black contrast for dark
locations along with improved dark-scene
gradation. Thanks to this advancement,
PIONEER has completely eliminated one of
the greatest image problems with
conventional plasma displays, false contours.
PIONEER's Digital Enhancer Achieves Clear, High-Resolution
Pictures from All Input Signals Including PC, Video, etc.
To ensure the finest and clearest possible PC image reproduction, the PDP-502MX is
equipped with PIONEER's exclusive Digital Enhancer signal processing circuitry. This
development has resulted in a 1-dot unit image management and enhancement in both
the horizontal and vertical directions. This
means that this model is capable of displaying
fine text and graphic images from PC sources
with much more clarity than pre-existing plasma
displays. Accordingly, the PDP-502MX is the
ideal display for a wide variety of presentation
tasks.
