Panel sticking and after-image lag
Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time
may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two
cases.
After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed
for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the
remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen
will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the
after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still
images and the time they had been displayed.
After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the plasma display
continuously over a long period of time.
If the same image is displayed continuously for long periods or for
shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image
may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent
materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving
images are later displayed, but they will not disappear completely.
Note
• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in
full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright
infringement. See page 47.
• To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically
changed slightly when the power is switched on or the input
changed. Depending on the broadcast content, some parts of
the picture may not be visible.
• The energy save function can be set to help prevent damage
from screen burning (see page 36).
