Brightness(Reference : luminance) :
Visible and subjective quality, for example, how bright matters look or how much visible rays are perceived.
Notice) Do not get confused luminance with brightness because those two are not the same. Brightness is
subjective while luminance is objective.
Burn in :
Element
’
s initial operation section that takes place until the element stabilizes or the initial expectancy expiration
is detected.
Bus electrode :
Aggregate of sustained electrodes that are bussed together.
Cathode electrode :
Cathode electrified electrode that releases electrode from element. In AC plasma panel, polarity switches in every
half a cycle.
Cell :
Capacity corresponding to each electric discharge. In general, it is defined by the shape of substrates and
electrodes but can be defined by partitions.
Cell gap :
Measurements identifying the gaps between substrates.
Cell pitch :
Measurement that identifies the cells from the surface of substrates. It varies depending on the direction of rows
and columns.
Charge transfer curves :
Curves expressing the quantity of electric charge that is transferred, as the function of drive wave form
characteristics. (for example, voltage, time and others)
Color arrangement
(in other words, sub-pixel arrangement) :
Term expressing the location of one pixel consisted of sub color pixels.
Color coordinates, CIE 1931 :
Color image expressing method in color dimension, originated from CIE standard of 1931, expressed by X, Y and
Z. Among those three, Y element corresponds to luminous flux that is expressed as lumen while X and Y are
values that express red and purple element of luminous flux. Colors of matter are expressed as color coordinates
pair (x,y). Here x=X/(X+Y+Z), Y=(X+Y+Z).
Method for colors, known as (u, v), where image colors are expressed in more even color dimension.
Colors of matter are expressed as color coordinates pair (u, v). Here, u=4X/(X+15Y+3Z), Y=6Y/(X+15Y+3Z).
Color coordinates, CIE 1960 :
Method for colors, known as (u,v), where image colors are expressd in more even color dimension. Colors of
matter are expressed as color coordinates pair(u, v).
Here, u=4X(X+15Y+32),y=6Y/(X+15Y+32Z).
Method for colors, known as (u
’
,v
’
), where revised image colors are expressed in more even color dimension. V
’
is 1.5-fold of recommended v value of 1960. The color of matter is expressed as color coordinates pair (u
’
, v
’
).
Here, u
’
=4X/(X+15Y+3Z) , v
’
=9Y/(X+15Y+3Z).
Color coordinates, CIE 1976 CIELUV and CIELAB :
Three dimensional parameters expressing with u
’
and v
’
including Ω√∞
?

against chromaticity and luminance of
standard white light in display. Among the parameters, only CIELUV gets to have proper color space where
additional two blend light appears in line segment. (reger to CIE Publication 15.2, Colorimetry 1st edition 1976,
2nd edition 1986)
Color depth :
The number of digital bit allocated to each major color.
Color gamut :
Physically realizable color space area.
