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.
1. After-image lagging due to remaining electric load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are
displayed 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.
2. 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 several hours, or for shorter
periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image
may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluores-
cent materials. Such images may become less noticeable
if moving images are later displayed, but they will not
disappear completely.
• The Energy save function can be set to help prevent
damage from screen burning (see page 54).
