Providing a Large Screen in a Lightweight
Ultra-Slim Package, the Plasma Display Panel (PDP) is
and
a Next-Generation Technology that Completely
Ultra-Slim Package, the Plasma Display
Revolutionizes Visual Presentation
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.
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.
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.
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.

PIONEER is the World Leader in the Manufacture of
Industrial-Use Large-Screen Displays
For decades, PIONEER has led the world in the development,
production and sale of the display systems. One of our most notable
successes has been the Multi-Projection CUBE Video Wall system.
Cube has achieved unrivaled popularity worldwide as a display
system for public and commercial-use facilities as well as for all
kinds of exhibitions and shows. Over the years, we have also
established much of the technology and know-how to provide the
solid reliability so important in the industrial-use market. For the
future, PIONEER is positioning PDP as one of the core businesses in
its long-term development strategy. Making the most of our expertise
in video display-related circuit and panel manufacturing technologies,
we are determined to continue providing PDP products that lead this
field. As we move deeper into the era of multimedia, professional
demands in respect of more effective video display systems will
steadily increase and PIONEER will continue to respond to these
demands through technological improvement and innovative design.
PIONEER's PDP Products are Created Totally
in-House From Design to Assembly
While some PDP manufactures are content to OEM major display
components, PIONEER manufactures all major PDP display components
in it's own fabrication facility. In order to realize an ideal display system,
PIONEER performs all processes in-house from the initial screen design
and development through final assembly.
Only PIONEER Grasps Total Market Demands
and Provides Products That Can be
Installed Exactly as Desired
Thanks to a wealth of experience in the sale and installation of
industrial-use display systems, PIONEER is adept at satisfying diverse
operating environment-related demands. We provide strong and
secure installation fixtures that make possible versatile installation
configurations. What's more, we provide comprehensive customer
service and support backed by a long record of excellence.

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.
Strucure of Newly Developed Panel
Transparent ElectrodeFront Glass Substrate
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.
Auxiliary Electrode
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.
Red Phosphor
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.
