Environmentally Friendly Panel | Mercury and Lead Free Plasma Display Panel Panasonic products are more friendly to the environment. All plasma display panels are mercury and lead free. This reduces the impact on the environment when recycling or disposing of them in the future. | Long Panel Life, Up to 100,000 Hours Panasonic plasma display panel offers a long life of up to 100,000 hours, under normal operating condition providing gorgeous HD images for many years. 1080p FULL HD Plasma Displays 103 85 Product Line-up 65 1080p FULL HD Plasma Displays High Definition Plasma Displays 58 TH-103PF12W PF12 series TH-85PF12W TH-65PF12UK TH-58PF12UK TH-50PF20U PF20 series TH-42PF20U TH-50PH20U PH20 series TH-42PH20U NeoPDP Technology Increases Luminous Efficiency by About 4x for Greater Image Quality Plasma displays illuminate their pixels with the following three steps. 1.An electric discharge is used to generate ultraviolet rays. 2.The ultraviolet rays illuminate phosphors. 3.The light from the phosphors is emitted from the panel. The NeoPDP technology further improves the efficiency of all of these steps to achieve about four times*1 the luminous efficiency of our 2007 models. This results in better image quality and saves more power. ) Xe 4) 2% % 36 % Xe e Native Contrast of 5,000,000:1*2 To take maximum advantage of the inherently superior black expression of self-illuminating plasma displays, the newly developed panel allows the PF20 Series to emit light without the use of a pre-discharge.

These displays deliver richer gradation from brilliant whites to robust blacks, and faithfully reproduce the textural quality of the original video source. 36 ) Conventional High-definition broadcasts are based on the HDTV standard, rather than the conventional NTSC standard. Panasonic plasma displays reproduce a wide color gamut exceeding the entire color range specified in the HDTV standard (ITU-R, BT.709).

Numerous Image Display Functions and Utilities Enhance the Power of the Large-Screen Display PJLink *1-Compatible Network Function for Remote Control TM This network function lets you operate displays by remote control and monitor their status through a LAN connection. Since it supports the "PJLinkTM*1 Class 1" industry standard, existing infrastructure can be used for effective plasma display operation. You can also control the display*2 from a web browser, making it even easier to use. The network function also uses the same protocol as Panasonic projectors, so other video devices can be combined to upgrade the system. *1: Unified standards for a telecommunications protocol for operating and managing multiple projectors. *2: PF20 Series only. • When using the network function, be sure to set "Control I/F Select" in "Network Setup" to "LAN." • The optional LAN Board TY-FB12LC is required for the TH-65PF12UK/58PF12UK. Easy Operation from a Web Browser Portrait Zoom Function Enlarges Horizontal Images for Vertical Display Conference room, entrance hall, etc. Control room Network By dividing horizontal content into three vertical segments, the Portrait Zoom function can dynamically display selected segments. Then, by grouping three 103-inch or 85-inch plasma displays together in portrait mode, a dynamic multiscreen system can be configured to display life-size people with almost the same field of view as the original content. * Some degradation occurs when images are enlarged. Desired segments are displayed full-screen in portrait mode. Horizontal content is divided into three segments. Multi-Screen System Dynamically Displays Images in Large Spaces The Multi-Display function enlarges images up to five times their original size, both vertically and horizontally. It enlarges images by the same zoom ratio in both vertical and horizontal directions, such as 2x2, 3x3, 4x4 and 5x5, or by different ratios in order to effectively use vertically or horizontally elongated spaces. Plasma display versatility can be further enhanced by freely selecting the zoom ratio to match the installation space. • Some degradation occurs when images are enlarged. • Provide an appropriate air-conditioned environment because the ambient temperature varies depending on the installation condition and location. 3x 2x 1x Images can be enlarged in 24 different ways VCR DVD 2x 3x 4x 5x 1x1 1x2 1x3 1x4 1x5 2x1 2x2 2x3 2x4 2x5 3x1 3x2 3x3 3x4 3x5 4x1 4x2 4x3 4x4 4x5 5x1 5x2 5x3 5x4 5x5 PC 5x STB 4x No restriction on input sources 1x Effective Functions Used with Portrait Zoom or Multi Display • Multi AI Control Function • Power-On Delay Function By applying AI control to the brightness signal of the entire input signal using the same video processing as for a single-screen image, this function achieves a uniform brightness level over the entire image. This function automatically shifts the power-on time slightly for each display unit in the system, so there's less load on the power supply. • Display ID Control This mode displays a full-screen image, including edges (the entire width of the frame) of the display panel. This is especially suitable for displaying text information, since no words are hidden by the frame. To prevent remote control errors that can occur when multiple displays are installed in close proximity, each display in a multi-screen system must have a unique ID. Assigning a display ID assures reliable remote control operation. Conference systems utilized together with projectors. 8 * The optional ID Remote Control Unit (EUR7636070R) is required for the TH-65PF12/58PF12/50PF20/42PF20/50PH20/42PH20. • Seam Hides Video Off Mode TU IP 9 2 3 & * ! !

Panasonic proclaimed a "lead-free" design in all plasma display models from 2006 onward, thus reducing the possibility of pollution caused by environmentally hazardous substances in disposed products. It also eliminated the use of polyvinyl chloride in internal wiring, all as a part of its active promotion of environmentally friendly manufacturing. [Front Panel] Front Grass Dielectric Layer Protective Coat Transparent Electrode Bus Electrode Phosphors Dielectric Rib Address Electrode [Rear Panel] The parts in green letters are mercury and lead free. *8: Announced on November 2, 2006. Achieved lead-free designs in all 140 models for worldwide markets. The Amagasaki Plant, which manufactures all Panasonic plasma display panels, uses a variety of environment-friendly systems and technologies, such as a photocatalytic coating on building exteriors, the "Kaze-Kamome" (Wind-Seagull) hybrid wind and solar power tower system, and sprinklers that use rainwater. Amagasaki Plant No. 5 Exterior wall with photocatalytic coating "Kaze-Kamome" Sprinkler using rainwater In-House Development and Production of Everything from Devices to Finished Products Panasonic conducts all activities related to its plasma displays in-house (at its Amagasaki Plant), such as its research and development of the panels and devices that form the key components of the plasma display, the development of circuits and drive systems, and the assembly of finished products. In order to quickly reflect feedback from customers worldwide into production, Panasonic operates assembly plants at four. In addition Panasonic has established sales and service bases at 65 locations around the world to meet the requirements and service requests demanded by users, and particularly those of professional users. Panasonic's global network is designed to achieve optimum production efficiency in each stage of manufacturing, and responds to growing worldwide demand for plasma display panels.
