ABOUT PLASMA DISPLAY PANEL

Image Retention of Plasma Display Panel

The plasma display panel has one of characteristics that can result 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 phosphors due to the partial display of character and ﬁ gure.

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 colour 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 ﬁ gures.

The brighter the characters and ﬁ gure, 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. A]

[Fig. B]

[Fig. a]

[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” or “Luminance Manager” functions on the display, which are available from Conﬁguration menu. (Refer to 30 , 31 .)

After displaying certain images such as a 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. In addition, “Luminance Manager” function works when displaying images such as TV station logos or clock displays in the corners of the screen. 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 2-picture 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 the image retention.

Common Characteristics of Plasma Display Panels

The following are the common characteristics of Plasma Display Panel 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 ﬁ ne-processing glass even though the panel strengthens by the front ﬁ lter 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 colours, etc.

through STB and VCR]

3.Connect the RF cable from the equipment ‘Out’ to the otherequipment ‘In.’

4.Then, connect from the equipment ‘Out’ to “ANT” on the plasma screen Socket.

NOTE

If analogue and digital broadcast signals are provided from separate aerials, please use a mixer and RF cable to connect aerial socket in order to receive both signals.

Precautions when connecting the aerial

Please use a coaxial cable which is free from interference to connect the aerial. Avoid using a parallel ﬂ at 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.

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.

Information

HDMI(High Deﬁ nition Multimedia Interface) is next-generation multimedia I/O interface. Only one cable is used to transmit all video/audio/control signals, which creates easy connection.

Moreover, those digital signals can produce high quality data without any degradation. You are provided with two HDMI terminals on front and rear.

If your external device has a HDMI terminal, HDMI connection is recommended for higher quality picture and sound.

NOTE

When the signal format is 1080p, use a cable of less than 5 meters.

Common Interface Slot allows you to receive Pay TV service with detachable modules.

Before inserting the module, make sure to turn off the main power. And then insert the module through the clamp all the way into the slot. Make sure to insert it correctly. Refer to 36 for the details.

4. Connecting the plug into the wall socket

Connect the Power Cord after completing all other connections. (The type of plug is different from this drawing for some countries.)

UK only

Except UK

CAUTION

Use only the Power Cord provided.

Do not use a power supply voltage other than that indicated (AC220-240V, 50Hz). It may cause ﬁ re or electric shock.

For the plasma television, a three-core power cord with a ground terminal is used for efﬁ ciency protection. Always be sure to connect the Power Cord to a grounded outlet and make sure that the cord is properly grounded. If you use a power source converter plug, use an outlet with a ground terminal and screw down the ground line.

Connection to a Cable Distribution System is to be provided through a galvanic isolator.

Ensure that both ends of power cord are easily accessible.

If you have to change the power cord, please use the certiﬁ ed power cord that meets your region’s safety standard.
