CAUTION
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 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.
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 a long period, 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
• When a still image, such as a programme menu, is
displayed for 5 minutes to 10 minutes, the system
automatically turns the image off to prevent damage from
screen burning.
• 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.
Preventing damage from screen burning
• It is recommended that you enjoy watching images
displayed in full screen, except when doing so may result in
copyright infringement. See page 53.
• The Energy save function can be set to help prevent damage
from screen burning. See page 36.
