Pioneer ULTIMATE DIGITAL AUDIO/VIDEO ENTERTAINMENT - Manual (Page 18)

Pioneer Plasma TVs display images with increased depth and dimension — especially in darker picture areas. Sharpness and contrast in
shadowy and night scenes is enhanced, and a wider range of black tones can be reproduced, up to the purest black. This is made possible by Pioneer’s unique
PUREBLACK Crystal Layer: an additional layer added to the inside of the protective glass screen. Added advantages: it boosts overall brightness and contributes to
energy efficiency.

PURE VISION PLASMA TECHNOLOGY 18
Thanks to Pioneer’s innovative and unique Deep Waffle Rib Structure, plasma cells are encapsulated on all sides so that emitted light cannot leak
into neighbouring cells, dispersing their brightness. Images remain at their most intense at all times, offering a level of brightness that has never
before been possible.
PUREBLACK Panel
Enjoy minimum reflection and maximum colour with Pioneer’s Direct Colour Filter, a film-type filter which is
attached directly onto the front of the plasma panel. It significantly reduces reflection from outside light as well as reflection from the
panel itself. This helps to improve contrast in bright environments. The filter is very thin and light, which
minimises the panel’s super-slim profile (only 92 mm).
