Panasonic Launches Suite of Large Format
Published Oct 5, 2010

Panasonic will offer its state-of-the-art TH-152UX1 152-inch, Full HD 3D plasma display, the world’s largest, along with the TH-103VX200 and TH-85VX200, 3D versions of its premium 103-inch and 85-inch plasma displays from January 2011, it was announced.
Ideal for a broad spectrum of cutting-edge applications, the three new Full HD 3D large-format plasmas are designed for utilization in homes, corporate environments, and the entertainment industry.
“Panasonic’s new range ultra-large Full HD professional plasma displays are engineered to empower the end user. Television has evolved dramatically, and our new range of products is designed to match our customer’s changing lifestyles,” said Masao Motoki, Director, System Solution division, Panasonic Marketing Middle East
“Our large screen displays are ideally suited for the region and Panasonic is committed to making world-class entertainment technology readily available to our customers,” added Motoki.
Several breakthrough technologies enable the 3D displays’ Full-HD images and even improve 2D performance. Panasonic’s 3D ultra high-speed drive technology and new motion prediction technology eliminates crosstalk (ghosting) between left and right images to produce super fine crisp images, and facilitate an overwhelming, near-infinite contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1, around twice the tone gradation of conventional models.
A 30-bit Color Processing Engine provides super-accurate color reproduction and a color management system that features high-precision pixel conversion and color signal-processing technology, high definition broadcast-compliant color reproduction, and professional picture quality adjustment that allows displays to be set up to suit their viewing environments perfectly. The result is studio monitor-like performance with reproduction of the detail and texture of the original images with near perfection.
The three displays also incorporate video processing technology to allow for the crisp, smooth playback of images originally recorded in 24p, such as movies recorded on film. This raises the video reproduction performance of the plasma display panels allowing for true-to-life reproduction of colorful, high-precision content in either 3D or 2D.
Addressing diverse customer needs, the displays have been outfitted with a SLOT 2.0 function whereby different terminal boards may be inserted, providing compatibility with interfaces such as DVI and HD-SDI, and facilitating use in a wide array of professional operating environments.
These advances allow the world's first ultra-large Full HD 3D plasma display lineup to reproduce high quality 3D video sources accurately and create an immersive experience that allows audiences to feel as if they were a part of the scene. The 152-inch display can even project life-size images of people.
Offering a variety of 3D system solutions that will lead to the creation of new businesses, Panasonic continues to fulfill the needs of professional users such as corporations, stores, amusement facilities, educational institutions, art galleries and museums.
Potential usages:
- Corporate - 3D simulation
Life-sized 3D simulations can greatly improve design accuracy, reduce manufacturing lead time, and increase design flexibility.
- Stores - 3D showrooms
3D videos on an ultra-large screen can be used for product presentations and demonstrations by car dealers or the housing industry as a realistic sales tool with its overwhelmingly high quality 3D imagery.
- Amusement - Immersive 3D games
3D games on ultra-large displays gives multiple numbers of players an immersive experience, making them feel as if they were in the game scenes.
Main features:
1. High resolution Full HD 3D images on ultra-large panels with newly-developed ultra high-speed drive technology
To shorten decay time by a third in comparison to conventional models, new short-decay time phosphors have been installed. Also, the inclusion of the world's first*1 motion vector prediction allows high-precision light emission controls to predict not only backward and forward movement, but also left-right and diagonal movement to heighten drive speed, thereby allowing a higher illuminating speed of about one fourth the time of conventional models.
This installation reduces crosstalk, the key to high quality 3D video, to an absolute minimum, giving clear, high resolution 3D images on the ultra-large panels such as the 85- and 103-inch models and even the 152-inch model which offers 8.84 million pixels (4,096 x 2,160), about quadruple the pixels of Full HD panels (1,920 x 1,080 = 2.07 million pixels). With the virtually infinite contrast of 5,000,000:1, the new displays maximize PDP's high quality 3D imaging capabilities on the entire surface of the ultra-large screens, creating an overwhelmingly immersive experience.
2. New "professional quality engine" faithfully reproduces colorful, high-precision images
The ultra-large panels incorporate newly developed "professional quality engine" enabling high-quality 3D image quality desired by professionals. Signal processing of each pixel has improved from 20 to 30-bit processing, allowing all color and brilliance signals to be reproduced accurately, as well as achieving double the color reproducibility compared to conventional models.
A professional quality color management system, which is compliant with HDTV broadcasting standards, adjusts picture quality to faithfully reproduce the detail and texture of the original video source, enabling studio monitor-like high-precision image quality. The products also feature 24 Hz video processing technology to allow crisp and smooth playback of movies recorded on tape.
3. New SLOT 2.0 function slots maintains the expandability and flexibility of professional displays
The professional Full HD 3D PDP panels are developed to be versatile with the various system constructions required for professional displays in a highly flexible manner. To meet the needs of customers, the models have been fitted with Panasonic's SLOT 2.0 function slots into which different terminal boards (sold separately) can be attached. These products are compatible with interfaces such as DVI and HD-SDI, and can be customized for use in a wide array of professional operating environments.
