Panasonic launches its new HD plasma display panels for large displays

Panasonic has announced that it will start taking orders for its professional-use ultra-large Full HD 3D plasma display panels (PDPs) from July 1, 2010. The displays include the 152-inch model as well as the 103- and 85-inch models. The first shipments of the display panel will arrive in autumn this year in the Japanese and American markets followed by other countries soon thereafter. It is being displayed at InfoComm 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada, from June 9.

The professional Full HD 3D PDPs provides high quality Full HD 3D video for a direct-view display as well as ultra-high picture quality 2D displays. To develop new models Panasonic has improved the technologies employed in its VIERA Full HD 3D plasma televisions. The improvements include a contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1 for black reproduction, a high speed driving technology to achieve the PDP's full moving picture resolution and a crosstalk reduction technology, a crucial requirement for producing clear and crisp 3D images. The ultra high-speed drive technology can achieve clear and highly detailed 3D video even on the ultra-large panels and the built-in "professional quality engine" has doubled the color reproducibility with 30-bit processing in comparison to conventional models. These models have also been equipped with Panasonic's function slots, "SLOT2.0," allowing various interfaces such as DVI and HD-SDI.
