Panasonic Unveils 42'' HD and SD Plasma Displays with Industry's Highest Contrast Ratios, Amazing 1,536 Shades of Gradation
ORLANDO, Fla.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--June 3, 2003--Panasonic Broadcast (NYSE: MC)
* 42" HD Model Provides 45% Brightness Improvement *
* 42" SD Panel Offers 4000:1 Contrast Ratio *
At INFOCOMM, Panasonic Broadcast introduced new 42" high definition and 42" standard definition plasma display panels offering the industry's highest contrast images and exceptional gradation and colorimetry.
The widescreen TH-42PHD6UY HD and TH-42PWD6UY SD plasma units are equipped with advanced panels featuring Multi-facet Asymmetical Configuration Hyper pixels. The TH-42PHD6UY is outfitted with a 5-facet grid-cell structure panel that substantially improves the light-emitting balance of the three primary image-creating colors (red, blue, and green), allowing the display to reproduce purer whites and improving the panel's brightness level by 45 percent. Both panels feature a MACH Enhancer - Panasonic's exclusive contour-emphasis signal processing technology - that improves an object's contours to best reflect the manner the human eye perceives objects.
"Our new 42" units continue Panasonic's legacy as the image quality leader in plasma displays," said Stuart English, Vice President, Marketing, Panasonic Broadcast. "The new TH-series panels produce the blackest blacks available in both 42" HD and 42" SD plasma displays to assure users that the images they're viewing are ultra crisp and ultra vivid."
The 42" panels feature a host of innovative, newly-developed picture-enhancing technologies. For instance, the 16:9 displays' Super Real Gamma System reproduces gradation in steps equivalent to 1,536 shades to deliver greater image depth and to provide the subtle nuances to dark scenes. The New Real Black Drive System reduces the pre-charge emission when reproducing the color black that produces deeper, richer blacks and an industry-leading 4,000-to-1 contrast ratio for the TH-42PWD6UY SD unit and a 3000-to-1 contrast ratio for the TH-42PHD6UY HD panel. The panels' front protective glass incorporates a new Deep Black Filter that suppresses light transmittance and dramatically reduces the amount of external light reflected.
The TH-42PHD6UY HD unit will available in August at a suggested list price of $6,995. The TH-42PWD6UY SD unit will be available in August at a suggested list price of $4,995.
