Comparison of Old and New Cell Structure
PURE BLACK PANEL
PURE BLACK PANEL
PDP image quality takes another impressive step forward with Pioneer’s
new Pure Black Panel. In addition to our exclusive Deep Encased Cell
Structure, it uses another breakthrough technology called Crystal
Emissive Layer to achieve luminous efficiency that is much higher than
the previous model. The result is unprecedented high brightness of
1,400cd/m

(peak/panel) and greatly improved dark-area contrast.
Blacks are blacker, while light areas maintain their true brightness
values. Bright-area contrast is also significantly higher, meaning
that the PDP-425CMX will provide conspicuous, effective displays
in bright places such as shopping malls, event venues and showrooms.

even in bright stores.
Thanks to the extremely high contrast,
during meetings even small text
on the screen is clearly visible.

PDP-425CMX
High efficiency and the best possible picture quality have been achieved by mounting the color
management, scaling, GUI mix and other image processing technologies on a single chip that we
developed exclusively for our professional monitors. Scaling performance, a vital factor for professional
monitors, has been improved to ensure that even high resolution signals are reproduced with minimal
data loss. In addition, ACE IV technology enables the panel to accurately reproduce high level gray
scale for each color. The panel instantly identifies the type of image being shown (fast- vs. slow-motion
scenes, dark vs. light scenes) and dynamically optimizes the distribution of color gradation.

Superior scaling performance
Even when the image is expanded by video wall or point zoom
functions, the PDP-425CMX displays detailed information
with extreme clarity.
Superb picture quality designed for professional applications.
