Which Display Will Win?
Bruce Berkhoff (LPL)
• …We will swamp the PDPs ….
• ….. 30-40 TFT’s will displace plasmas …
• …. (plasmas) don’t have the brightness,
they have burn in problems ……
Source: Drawing by Bonnie from “The Clock”
Kazuya Yamamoto, an analyst with UFJ
Tsubasa Securities Co:
• ….In the U.S. demand for plasma displays
televisions is exceeding liquid crystal
displays ….
•
….Fujitsu Hitachi had no choice but to
build a new PDP plant, with rival
companies accelerating production

PROJECTION – THE NEW WAVE ?
• Rear projection becomes new TV battleground,
according to iSuppli……
• Major Taiwan Flat Panel Manufacturers focusing on
LCOS TV Technology…….
• Lower-Priced Projection TV Outshines Plasma Hype…
• Thomson RCA/InFocus - 61-inch RPTV that is only 6.85
inches deep
• TV makers such as Philips Electronics and Sony Corp.
(SNE) have dabbled in LCoS chips for their own TVs……
• Intel - Unveiled its LCOS technology for RPTVs….and
left….
Samsung developed high-definition PDP televisions of 80-inch and 102-inch diagonal size
Resolution of 1,920×1,080 pixels, a brightness of 1,000-candela-per-square-meter and a contrast ratio of > 2,000:1

Power Consumption
LCD makers compare LCD and PDP by the value of
maximum power consumption.
Maximum power consumption is a measure for power-line safety (line
capability /safety breaker), but it is not a measure of actual (effective) power
consumption.
The actual power consumption however is determined by the “annual power
consumption” ,as defined in Japan.
This measure should be applied to compare the power consumption of displays.
Annual power consumption =
((Operating power) - (Save power by power saving mode) x 1/4) x 1642.5
+ (Stand-by power) x 7117.5
The average power consumption for TV use is calculated as follows;
Operating power = (White display power + Black display power) x 1/2
Stand-by power = (Power at main switch off + Power at remote switch off) x 1/2
Save power by power saving mode = Operating power - Power at saving mode)

Screen Area
LCD-TV Improvement of Image Defects requires
higher power consumption and higher cost
Large Screen : Same size LCD-TV will not be lower power consumption than PDP TV.
High Image Quality
Improvement of Image retention requires:
Black screen insert
= Decrease of luminance
→ Increase of back light number → Increase of power consumption
→ Increase of lamp luminance
→ Shorter lamp lifetime
Back light blinking
= Decrease of luminance
→ Increase of lamp luminance
→ Shorter lamp lifetime or higher cost (LED)
Increase of peak luminance:
(Peak luminance of TV picture does not reach the value of catalogue
spec.)
Increase of lamp luminance
→ Increase of power consumption
→ Shorter lamp lifetime
Improve luminance uniformity:
(low luminance on outer screen area)
Increase of back light number
→ Increase of power consumption & Cost up
Improvement by optical diffuser → Cost up
Improvement of luminous efficacy of PDP
(panel power reduction)

LCD is Not a high quality display for movies at home !
When does LCD seem to be beautiful?
• In brightly illuminated show rooms
• A bright environment hides the gradation in a dark picture.
• Appealing thanks to low ambient light reflectivity.
Home use:
• A picture with perfect black is important for watching movies
• Customers in Japan are not satisfied when they purchase an LCD-TV and
watch movies at home.
• The LCD black surface seems bluish and a human face seems pale-white
• PDP has perfect black at home

The quality of the image of PDP’s does not change with viewing angle.
The quality of an LCD changes with viewing angle.
Such a display is not good for large area TV in a living-room!

Gen 7 Magic ?
• So what magic will result from even larger
substrates in Gen 7 ????
• New PDP factories already uses that
substrate size (180 x 230 cm)! Two years
ahead of LCD!
• LCD Materials cost is dominant and this
will not be reduced by Gen 7 lines !
