Introduction The Panasonic 3D Plasma TV uses what’s called “Frame Sequential Method”. By using this method, the TV outputs alternating imagery at 60 frames per second to each eye. The brain then combines the images and interprets them as 3D. The PDP high-speed light emission technology utilized to display high-picture quality full HD video images for the left and right eyes in frame sequential is unique to Panasonic. The Panasonic 3D PDP utilizes new phosphor technology for “real deep black a

Features Full HD 3D Technology For a true Full 1080p 3D image, Panasonic’s VT25 Series features new, faster screen phosphors (short-stroke) which, when coupled with the VIERA VT25’s 600Hz sub-field drive, outputs alternating imagery at 60 frames per second to each eye. Working in unison with the required Active Shutter Eyewear, the human brain then combines the images and interprets them as a Full HD 3D image for the highest possible realistic visual experience; in effect mimicking what the

New Plasma Display Panel The new panel used on the 2010 3D plasma TVs has 3 areas of improvement: 1. Enlarge discharge area. 2. New filter. 3. Reduced pre-discharge. 1 - Enlarged Discharge Area (improves brightness and contrast with less power consumption) The new cell structure, materials, and phosphors made it possible to enlarge the discharge area of each cell. This increases both brightness and contrast, so you enjoy a bright, vibrant picture while using less energy. Slide 10 Slide 10

New Plasma Display Panel 2 - A New Filter (It blocks ambient light to increase contrast and brightness) A newly developed film minimizes reflection from ambient lighting and increases contrast. It also improves light transmittance, which boosts brightness. The result is reproduction of images that look breathtakingly beautiful in any viewing environment 3 - Reduced Pre-Discharge (Reduces grey and enhances black gradation) To minimize light leakage, we found a way to reduce the level of

THX THX reproduces film images exactly as the film's creators intended them. The aim is to recreate the audio and visual ambience that filmmakers intended. To receive THX certification, TVs undergo stringent tests to determine: •If the exact same brightness and color are displayed at all screen locations. •If black levels satisfy standard criteria. Panasonic 3D Plasma TVs meets the high standards set by the THX Certified Display Program. Slide 12

Contrast Ratio Note: Native Contrast is expressed as a ratio of the minimum of luminance levels of blacks and the maximum of luminance levels of whites that are displayed and measured at the same time on the same screen in a dark room on a plasma panel module. Panasonic's Native Contrast measurement expresses the maximum contrast ratio of the plasma panel measured at the time of manufacture and does not express a contrast ratio measured during ordinary viewing conditions by a consumer.

Precautions ■ View the screen at a distance at least 3 times the height of the screen. Recommended distance: For a 50-inch TV : 1.9 m (6.23359‘) or more For a 54-inch TV : 2.0 m (6.56167’)or more ■ When watching 3D movies, take an appropriate length break after watching a movie. ■ When watching 3D content on interactive devices such as 3D games or computers, take an appropriate length break after using for 30 - 60 minutes. ■ As a guide, 3D Eyewear should not be used by children younger than 5 -

Can Everybody See 3D? No. There’s a small percentage of human (5%~10% of Americans) that lack the ability to properly see different images for each eye. This condition is called “Stereo Blindness”. 3D Technology Slide 15 Slide 15

3D Display Formats (Methods) There are a few methods used to separate the left and right eye images on a 3D display: Frame Sequential, Side by Side, Top and Bottom, Checker Pattern (Field Sequential), Line By Line Supported By Panasonic 3D Plasma TV Frame Sequential In the frame sequential method, images for each eye are alternately reproduced in its full resolution. This means a separate 1920 x 1080 Full HD image is sent to each of eye, enabling the viewers to fully immerse themselves in the

3D Display Formats (Methods) Line By Line, Checker Pattern (Field Sequential), Frame Sequential A sequential 3D TV can display sequential 3D, this means the TV converts it. Blu-ray outputs the video at 1080p 24 frames per second, per eye; or 48 frames per second. This signal goes to the TV but the glasses are what ensures each eye sees the correct image. The side by side systems, a single 1080p frame that holds both the right and left eye's images is sent at 24 frames per second. The TV receiv

Frame Sequential Method Frame Sequential Method Panasonic uses full-HD sequential playback to achieve a level of reality that far exceeds conventional 3D systems. Called the Frame Sequential Method, it's the same method that is used in Hollywood's 3D films. It reflects our commitment to 3D imaging detail. Separate images recorded in 1920 x 1080-pixel resolution for both the left and right eyes are alternately displayed at the ultra-high speed of 120 frames per second.* Viewing them wit
