Deep Encased Cell Structure With Crystal Emissive Layer and New Materials

The new Elite Plasma Display Panels have higher brightness and blacker black for increased realism, while also consuming less power.

The Crystal Emissive Layer (part of the Deep Encased Cell Structure) is a layer of crystal with an especially well- aligned structure. It is applied to the surface of the front glass substrate. The following display panel technologies also improve light emission efficiency, in synergy with the video signal processing of New PureDrive II:

New Dielectric Layer

A new material for the dielectric layer ensures 20% higher light emission efficiency over previous models, for brighter pictures with lower voltage.

New Red and Blue Phosphors

First Surface PRO Color Filter —

A New Elite-Exclusive Panel Technology

The latest Elite PDPs feature the new First Surface PRO Color filter — an Elite-exclusive feature. This is an upgraded version of the Pioneer-developed First Surface Pure Color Filter. It allows superior contrast to be maintained even in bright environments. This is due to a layer of film affixed to the glass panel covering the plasma cells. Unlike conventional glass filters, this panel technology eliminates the space between the film and the glass. This allows ambient light reflection to be reduced, improving the contrast ratio in bright environments by 20%.

The First Surface PRO Color Filter uses a new special film, which better balances the colors of passing light with 15% lower transmittance compared to the previous filter. This further improves the contrast ratio in bright environments — by 20% compared to the previous filter.

The new Elite PDPs also boast new red and blue phosphors. The new red phosphors allow a variety of red shades to be faithfully reproduced, which is difficult to achieve with conventional PDPs, LCD TVs, etc. The new blue phosphors improve the realism of blue shades, and are more durable than conventional materials.
