Situations and effective usage methods related to ghosting are provided below. Image retention characteristics of a plasma display The image retention phenomenon of a plasma panel occurs due to partial phosphor degradation arising from partial character and figure display. A at the right is continuously displayed for a long period of time, the only part of the phosphor (Red, Green, Blue) that will degrade will be the colour of the applicable character display portion. Consequently, when a white image is displayed on the entire screen as shown in Fig. a, the character marks displayed up to that time will become a colour difference visible to the eye, but the phosphor will never burn. [Fig. a] The degree of image retention is proportional to the brightness of the characters and figures displayed as well as the display time. · The tendency of the phosphor is to degrade more the brighter the characters and figures are displayed. When images of figures with different levels of brightness, as shown in Fig. B, are continuously displayed for a long period of time, it becomes easier for image marks at locations when the brighter figures are displayed to be noticeable. [Fig. B] is seen differs depending on the operation time and brightness. [Fig. b] The image retention images in this document are exaggerated for the purpose of explanation. The actual manner in which the image retention Methods to Reduce the Occurrence of Image Retention · Lower the Contrast and Brightness settings of the plasma display as much as possible. A function is provided in the display that controls the brightness of the screen to reduce degradation of the panel. (Refer to Panel Life ( Extend 1. or Extend 2 ) shown on 20 ) · Set the plasma monitor to an "Screen Wipe" or "Inverse" display. The occurrence of image retention when displaying images of identical patterns, such as static images, for long periods of time can be reduced by displaying a reversed colour or completely white screen for about 1 ~ 2 hours after terminating the display. (Settings can be made using Screen Wipe and Inverse of Function MENU shown on 20 ) · Using in combination with moving images Since the degradation of the fluorescent material progresses comparatively uniform for moving images, the occurrence of partial image retention can be controlled. * Please be careful since image retention will occur if display is left in a two screen display state for a long period of time.
