VIERA's highly detailed 3D playback is well recognised in the

industry. One reason for this is that many top-level 2D

technologies have also been applied to 3D. The essence of

these Panasonic technologies have been combined to

reproduce a truly real-life 3D world. Double image is

minimised, to produce truly lifelike 3D. Research aimed at

achieving extremely difficult 3D image technologies has also

had a synergetic effect on 2D image quality, resulting in richer

black reproduction and a new dimension of quality in crisp,

clear motion images.

Another major innovation has been the new cloud-based

Internet service. Viewers can now go beyond the realm of the

ordinary TV to enjoy a variety of Internet content and online

communication right in the living room. VIERA has become a

window to the world. In 2011, be sure to experience for

yourself the magnificent quality of 3D and 2D images, and the

growing world of IPTV, on your VIERA TV.

Quality that Far Exceeds Your Imagination

Offering 2D and 3D Panels with the Industry's Highest-Level Image Quality

in Both Plasma and LED LCD Models.

Best Experience in 2D and 3D

Fast Switching Phosphor

The use of fast switching phosphors has significantly reduced afterglow duration and reproduces clear 3D and 2D images. Fast switching phosphor is used in all full HD models.

Improved Pre-discharge and Filter LED + IPS Alpha PanelNewly Developed High-Speed Panel

Minimising pre-discharge has made it possible to produce crisp blacks with no graying. And improving the filter shape has suppressed glare and reduced internal reflections in the front glass panel. The contrast in bright ambient light has been raised to enable richer, more robust blacks.

A high-brightness LED has been combined with an IPS Alpha panel that features high light transmission efficiency. And a local dimming system* has also been incorporated. Maximising inherent device advantages such as these has achieved rich black expression and low power consumption.

*Only DT30 Series

Starting with the IPS Alpha panel and its excellent response characteristics, we narrowed the gaps between the liquid crystal layer and reformulated the liquid crystal materials. This resulted in outstanding motion image response. *Only DT30 Series

2D Image 3D Image

Smooth, Natural Playback3D 24p Smooth Film

VIERA incorporates technology that analyses picture information in both the preceding and succeeding frames, and creates a precise supplementary frame between them. This suppresses the jerky effect seen in movies, so playback is smooth and natural-looking. The distinctive tonal qualities and atmosphere of the movie are preserved, and you enjoy extremely lifelike 3D images.

Easily Convert 2D Images into 3D2D-3D Conversion

Customise 3D Images Just the Way You Want Them3D Adjustment Function

The addition of 3D image quality adjustment functions lets you enjoy 3D images more comfortably. The visual disparity between the eyes, which determines the 3D leaping effect, can be adjusted in 7 steps.

Memories Are Even More Powerful in 3D3D Image Viewer

It's easy to view 3D photos and movies you shot yourself on the big VIERA screen. After shooting with your 3D-compatible camera or camcorder, simply insert the SD card into the slot on a 3D-compatible VIERA TV. The viewing is incredible, with images so realistic it feels as though you're right back in the moment. You'll find that life's special moments are even more memorable when you preserve them in 3D.

High-Speed Shutters Prevent Light LeakageHigh-Precision 3D Eyewear Control Technology

Highly precise timing control for the opening and closing of the shutters minimises unwanted light leakage to enable clear 3D viewing. The remarkable beauty of the FULL HD 3D images is further ensured by employing a totally Panasonic system — both VIERA 3DTV and 3D Eyewear — to achieve a precisely linked operation.

Light leakage tends tooccur easily.

3D Eyewear

24p Original Source 3D 24p Smooth Film

Movement is jerky. Smooth and clear 3D images.

Unique Panasonic technology converts 2D images into high-quality 3D images in real-time. The technology generates a detailed depth effect for each type of image, so the 3D effect is natural and realistic. Use VIERA to enjoy Blu-ray movies, DVD movies and even ordinary TV broadcasts in 3D. The Resolution Enhancer function allows images that were converted from 2D to 3D to be displayed in sharp, clear 3D while minimising double images. 3D images with crisp contours are also produced from 3D broadcasts using the side-by-side method.

*When a 2D source is converted to 3D, the 3D effect is slightly less pronounced than with 3D sources.

FULL HD 3D Infuses Reality into Every ImageFrame Sequential Technology

Panasonic uses full-HD Frame Sequential technology to create its 3D images. Images recorded in 1920 x 1080 pixels for both the right-eye and the left-eye alternately flash on the screen at the ultra-high rate of 120 frames per second. When you view the screen through active-shutter glasses that open and close each lens in sync with the alternating images, you see breathtaking FULL HD 3D pictures with stunning power and realism.

Reducing the Source of Double ImagesNew Light-Emitting Process

New VIERA technology reduces double images in dark areas. Conventional light emission, which goes from dark-to-light, was changed to a light-to-dark sequence. This turns maximum emission afterglow into minimum emission afterglow, and dramatically reduces the afterglow duration. Also, by speeding up the timing of each light emission and expanding the interval until the next frame's emission, we greatly reduced the interference to the left and right frames, which causes double images.

High-Speed Rendering 3D Panel with High-Speed Response

Panasonic also further improved the IPS Panel's high-speed response. By narrowing the gap between layers and using a smoothly flowing liquid crystal material, it was possible to double the response speed compared with previous models. As a result, 3D images, which require both left- and right-eye images, are rendered more clearly and vividly.

In new VIERA models, contrast in brightly lit locations has been significantly improved. Enhancements to the panel and cells help reproduce images with smooth, natural gradation and deep, rich blacks – even when viewed in bright surroundings. In movies, the true, deep blacks faithfully convey the intent of the filmmakers, adding power and realism to the viewing experience.

Complete Colour Reproduction with No Blind AnglesWide Colour Viewing Angle

No matter where you sit in the room, you see breathtaking images with spectacular colours. Plasma TVs are self-illuminating, so images look beautiful from any angle. Black areas do not fade, and colours look virtually the same from every point in the room.

* Measured using an index for evaluating colour viewing angle developed by the Advanced PDP Development Centre Corporation (APDC). This ensures that you will enjoy exceptional viewing quality even in the largest living rooms.

Precise Image EnhancerResolution Enhancer

The Resolution Enhancer function restores the fine definition and detail that are inherently part of the image but sometimes lost in reproduction. Each area within the image frame is digitally processed for optimum quality. This process up-converts standard-definition images – such as those from TV broadcasts and DVDs – to a level approaching full-HD.

In addition to IPS Alpha panel features such as inherent fast response, Panasonic have achieved sharp, clear motion images by precisely controlling the backlight. Previous frames shut out any interference to frames other than the one that is being rendered, to effectively reduce after-images. Fast-moving scenes, such as those in sports and action films, are produced in intricate detail.

Years of Beautiful ImagesLong Panel Life, Up to 100,000 Hours

One important way consumers can protect the environment is by choosing high-quality products and taking care of them so they last for a long time. A high-quality VIERA TV can help. Thanks to a newly designed phosphor process and rear panel process, our plasma panels last for up to 100,000 hours before the brightness decreases by half. That's more than 30 years of viewing 8 hours a day.

*This measurement is based on the time taken for the brightness of the panel to reduce tohalf of its maximum level. The time taken to reach this level may vary depending on the imagecontent and the environment where the TV is used. Image retention and malfunctions are nottaken into account.
