Introduction

What is a Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?

If voltage is applied to gas within glass panels, ultraviolet rays are produced and fused with a fluorescent substance. At that instant, light is emitted. A Plasma Display is a next generation flat display using this phenomenon.

160° - Wide angle range of vision

Your flat panel plasma TV offers an exceptionally broad viewing angle -- over 160 degrees. This means that the TV is clear and visible to viewers anywhere in the room.

Wide Screen

The 42" screen gives you a movie-theater experience in the comfort of your own home.

Multimedia

Connect your plasma TV to a PC and you can use it for conferencing, games, and internet browsing. The Picture-in-Picture fea- ture allows you to view your PC and video images simultaneously.

Versatile

The light weight and thin size makes it easy to install your plasma display in a variety of locations where conventional TVs will not fit.

The PDP Manufacturing Process: Why minute colored dots may be present on the PDP screen

The plasma display panel consists of more than one million fine picture elements (cells). Although Mitsubishi utilizes plasma display panels with more than 99.99 percent active cells, there may be some cells that do not produce light or remain lit.
