Situations and effective usage methods related to ghosting are provided below. Image retention characteristics of a plasma display The image retention phenomenon of a plasma panel occurs due to partial phosphor degradation arising from partial character and figure display. For example, when the character image as shown in Fig. A at the right is continuously displayed for a long period of time, the only part of the phosphor (Red, Green, Blue) that will degrade will be the colour of the applicable character display portion. Consequently, when a white image is displayed on the entire screen as shown in Fig. a, the character marks displayed up to that time will become a colour difference visible to the eye, but the phosphor will never burn. [Fig. a] The degree of image retention is proportional to the brightness of the characters and figures displayed as well as the display time. · The tendency of the phosphor is to degrade more the brighter the characters and figures are displayed. When images of figures with different levels of brightness, as shown in Fig. B, are continuously displayed for a long period of time, it becomes easier for image marks at locations when the brighter figures are displayed to be noticeable. [Fig. B] is seen differs depending on the operation time and brightness. [Fig. b] The image retention images in this document are exaggerated for the purpose of explanation.
