Outwitting Pioneer’s 9mm Plasma Television, here comes the ultra thin, ultra green Plasma Television; Panasonic Neo PDP Eco Plasma. Entitled as World’s slimmest Plasma television, Neo PDP is a new technology incorporated in Plasma Televisions to reduce the energy consumption to almost half of a similar sized conventional Plasma TV. Plasma Technology is based on the ionization of gases sandwiched between two thin glass panes. The ionization is made possible by passing electric current, and the ionised gases turns to Plasma state, which emits light. Plasma, being a emissive panel needed higher electric input to stimulate UV rays from ionized plasma molecules to glow the pixel’s phosphors.

Unlike the conventional plasma technology, Neo PDP plasma television helps to increase the luminous efficacy of the television by lead free plasma screen, the gas molecules and to make the pixel phosphor glow. Panasonic launched the Neo PDP Eco Plasma screen that is unbelievably thin, around one-third of an inch to make it the winner in “Thin Display War”. Apart from the sleek stylish design, Neo PDP Eco Plasma proved that it is a “beauty with brain”. The energy efficiency sported by Panasonic is too high, and according to the Panny Officials Neo Plasma PDP needs only 50 percent of the energy required for a similar sized Plasma TV.

Plasma TV has already gained a bad reputation as “Power Hungry Displays”, and was kicked out of the UK markets due to this fact. Now there is a chance for the come back of plasma screens utilising Neo PDP Plasma technology. The greenovation of Plasma Television is made possible by Panny Technicians using three major revolutionary changes in PDP manufacturing. Panny Design Engineers developed new luminescent material, sophisticated cell design technology to improve the discharge efficiency and an advanced drive technology to reduce Transmission loss of power.

Isn’t it exciting to have a display which is thinner than a two Euro coin? These displays sports a high contrast ratio of 2,000,000:1 to render the deepest possible blacks, and immensely rich tonal range. You can see images bursting into life in your lounge with he help of this slim beauty. Moreover this DLNA certified display offers Full HD wireless connectivity. Another marked feature of this display is the augmented image brightness of upto 50% more compared to the conventional plasma screens, with an added advantage of 50% less power consumption. 600 Hz refresh rates offer ultra smooth images with expert motion adaptive techniques. Moreover these displays are THX certified, which ensures the impeccable output quality.

VIERA Cast is yet another salient aspect that makes it the king display. Media streaming through Ethernet is made possible with the help of VIERA cast, and Bloomberg, Picassa Web albums, You Tube, Eurosports, etc are some of the media partners. Z1 model is one of the Neo PDP Plasma models with one inch thick profile. The Z1 is ‘market ready’ and is expected to hit the United Kingdom very soon. Panasonic is an organisation who believes in constant improvement and has announced infinity contrast ratio Neo PDP Plasmas by next year, that too with just 8.8mm thickness. This gives hope to the plasma display domain, as many of the leading brands have already announced their exodus.
