IMAGE RETENTION OF PLASMA DISPLAY  
There are different characteristics that result in panel image retention depending on how the plasma display is used.  
Situations and effective usage methods related to ghosting are provided below.  
Image retention characteristics of a plasma display  
The image retention phenomenon of a plasma panel occurs due to partial phosphor degradation arising from partial character and figure  
display.  
For example, when the character image as shown in Fig. A at the right is  
continuously displayed for a long period of time, the only part of the phosphor  
(Red,Green, Blue) that will degrade will be the color of the applicable character  
display portion. 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 a color difference visible to the eye, but the phosphor will never burn.  
Fig. A  
Fig. a  
【 】  
【
】
The degree of image retention is proportional to the brightness of the characters and figures displayed as well as the display time.  
■
• The tendency of the phosphor is to degrade more the brighter the characters  
and figures are displayed. When images of figures with different levels of  
brightness, as shown in Fig. B, are continuously displayed for a long period of  
time, it becomes easier for image marks at locations when the brighter figures  
are displayed to be noticeable.  
Fig. B  
Fig. b  
】
【
】
【
The image retention images in this document are exaggerated for the purpose of explanation. The actual manner in which the image retention  
is seen differs depending on the operation time and brightness.  
*
Methods to Reduce the Occurrence of Image Retention  
• Lower the Contrast and Brightness settings of the plasma display as much as possible.  
A function is provided in the display that controls the brightness of the screen to reduce degradation of the panel. Using this function makes it  
possible to reduce image retention.  
(Refer to Panel Life (Extend 1.or Extend 2 shown on  
)
22  
• Set the plasma monitor to an “Screen Wipe” or “Inverse” display.  
The occurrence of image retention when displaying images of identical patterns, such as static images, for long periods of time can be  
reduced by displaying a reversed color or completely white screen for about 1 ~ 2 hours after terminating the display.  
(Settings can be made using Screen Wipe and Inverse of Function MENU shown on  
)
22  
• Using in combination with moving images  
Since the degradation of the fluorescent material progresses comparatively uniform for moving images, the occurrence of partial image  
retention can be controlled. We recommend to use in combination with moving images such as a DVD.  
* Please be careful since image retention will occur if display is left in a two screen display state for a long period of time.  
* Television broadcasts include images displayed for long periods of time in which the left and right or top and bottom of the image are cut and  
broadcast station name or time are displayed for a long period of time at the same portion of the screen. Image retention in these portions can  
be expected to occur, so please be aware.  
NOTES  
About screen defects  
• High precision technology is used in the making of plasma panels but there may be dark spots (points that do not illuminate) and bright spots  
(points that are too bright) in some cases. These do not indicate a malfunction.  
About residual images  
• In some cases, residual images may remain after the short-term display of still images and another image is displayed, but these will  
disappear and return to normalcy. This is not a malfunction.  
About the panel screen  
• Plasma displays 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. A reinforced glass filter is installed over the panel surface but  
avoid strong impact because there is still danger of glass breakage.

• The type of video board or connecting cable used may not allow for correct displays adjustment of Horizontal Position, Vertical Position, Horizontal  
Clock and Clock Phase.  
• The monitor may fail to display an animation image correctly when a signal having a vertical frequency of 85Hz or higher is input to it.  
• The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and the horizontal and vertical sync signal  
polarities. Note that different signals having all these elements alike may be handled as the same signal.  
• Displaying images with more than 512 lines of vertical resolution at Full diplay (compressed display) can result in the interpolation of stripes.

would govern.)  
With DVI-STB and RGB component setup  
• If the OUTPUT (MONITOR) terminal is connected to an external  
monitor with a 75 Ohm terminal, it is possible to view the same  
image as on the main unit. But it is possible to monitor only the  
composite video signal from AV1, AV2, AV3 or AV4 input that is  
displayed on the screen at the time.  
• If the adaptor is applied to AV4 input as shown in the drawing, it is  
impossible to receive RGB signal.

• The monitor differentiates the signal modes according to the horizontal and vertical frequencies and the horizontal and vertical sync signal  
polarities. Note that different signals having all these elements alike may be handled as the same signal.  
• Displaying images with more than 512 lines of vertical resolution at Full diplay (compressed display) can result in the interpolation of stripes.
