By reducing power consumption by up to a half, NeoPDP technology, which improves flat panel luminance efficiency, has the potential to give plasma screens a new lease of life.
While the overall picture performance of plasma compares favorably to LCD, relative power consumption of the competing technologies exposes plasma's Acilles heal in significantly greater running costs. NeoPDP technology not only reduces power consumption but paves the way for slimmer, lighter screens with improved picture performance.
Panasonic recently demonstrated a 150in plasma using NeoPDP technology which it says will make screens on this scale much more feasible. The technology focuses on and improves the efficiency of three different components - materials and processes, gas discharge and cell design, and the circuit technologies.
Panasonic plan to release 50in and 65in plasmas based on NeoPDP technology in the Spring of 2009. The 65in weighs less than 29Kg and has a thickness of 24.7mm.
