Notes on image retention
The plasma Display illuminates phosphors to display images. The phosphor particles have a finite illumination life. After extended periods of
illumination, the brightness of the phosphors will degrade to such an extent that stationary images would burn-in the relevant part of the screen and
appear as grayed-out images.
Tips to prevent such image retention:
- Do not display images having sharp brightness differencesor high-contrast images, such as monochrome characters and graphic patterns, for
long periods of time as this can cause ghost images to form on the screen.
- Do not display stationary images for extended periods of time, but try to change them at appropriate intervals of time, or use screen savers.
- Turn down the contrast and brightness controls.
How to clean the plasma screen panel of the Display
Before cleaning the Display, turn off the Display and disconnect the power plug from the power outlet.
To prevent scratching or damaging the plasma screen, do not knock or rub the surface with sharp or hard objects. Clean the screen with a soft
cloth moistened with warm water and dry with a soft cloth. If it is not enough, then use a cloth with mild detergent. Do not use harsh or abrasive
cleaners.
How to clean the cabinet of the Display
Use a soft cloth to clean the cabinet and control panel of the Display. When excessively soiled, dilute a neutral detergent in water, wet and wring
out the soft cloth, wipe the Display and afterwards wipe with a dry soft cloth.
Never use acid/alkaline detergent, alcoholic detergent, abrasive cleaner, powder soap, OA cleaner, car wax, glass cleaner, etc. as they could
cause discoloration, scratches or cracks.

Prevention of Screen Burn-In
There are different characteristics that result in panel image retention depending on how the plasma display is used.
Image retention or screen burn-in characteristics of a plasma display
The image retention phenomenon can occur on any Video signal.
For example, when the character image as shown in Fig. A at the right is
continuously displayed for a long period of time, then, only part of the phosphors
displayed age. Consequently, when a white image is displayed on the entire
screen as shown in Fig. a, the character marks displayed up to that time will
become visible to the eye.
[Fig. A][Fig. a]
The degree of image retention or screen burn-in is proportional to the brightness of the characters and figures displayed as well as the display
time.
• The tendency of the phosphor to breakdown will depend on the age of the
plasma display. When images of figures with different levels of brightness, as
shown in Fig. B, are continuously displayed for a long period of time, image
marks at locations where the brighter figures are present, are noticeable.
[Fig. B][Fig. b]
* The image retention images in this document are overdrawn for the purpose of
explanation. The actual manner in which the image retention is seen differs depending on the operation time and brightness.
ENGLISH
Methods to Reduce the Occurrence of Image Retention
• Lower the Contrast and Brightness settings of the plasma display as much as possible.
Notes
About screen defects
• High precision technology is used in the making of plasma panels but over the life of the panel, there may be dark spots (points that do not
illuminate) and bright spots (points that are too bright) that appear. These do not indicate a malfunction or defect.
About residual images
• In some cases, residual images may remain after a short-term display of still images and after another image has been displayed. These will
disappear over time and the display will return to normalcy. This is not a malfunction.
About the panel screen
• Plasma display images by means of electrical discharges inside the panel. Because of this, the temperature of the panel surface may rise in
some cases. Also, plasma displays are made of finely processed glass. Although a reinforced glass filter is installed over the panel surface, avoid
strong impact because there is still a danger of glass breakage.
