Realizing the color reproduction of 68.7 billion colors corresponding to the full HD (1920 × 1080 pixels)

The new model is compatible with full High-vision by adopting 1080p (progressive) 1.3 inch LDP panel. A flicker-less picture with high gradation performance is made available by adopting high temperature polysillicon TFT liquid crystal. Also, color reproduction of 68.7 billion colors is realized by making the process of RGB 12 bit each using liquid crystal drive circuit.

Equipping the advanced high quality picture processing device "AVM-II"

The high picture quality produced by our original video processing technology "AVM" has been highly evaluated in Europe and the U.S. as symbolized by the first award winning, as plasma display, of the 2002 Emmy Award in the U.S. and the Excellent Award from Germany's high-grade prominent magazine "Image Home Entertainment" in May 2003. Furthermore, the new product realizes the natural picture full of reality for various image sources by the adoption of "AVM-II" which is the more advanced version of the high picture quality technology of "AVM" and meets the needs of the Home Theater users who adhere to the high picture quality.

The following is the main features of the advanced high picture quality video processing circuit "AVM-II".

1) "Digital noise reduction" suppressing generation of digital noise:

The digitalization of video images is rapidly progressing through launching of digital TV broadcasting in various countries of the world and digitalization of video recording device such as HD recorder. We are now enjoying high quality pictures owing to availability of high resolution images by digitalization and solution of the deterioration of picture quality when transmitting and storing. As such digital video signal has much data volume, the data is compressed when broadcasting or recording. In this case, peculiar noise(compression distortion)occurs, which is particularly noticeable in large-sized display.
In "AVM-II", by detecting and eliminating the noise peculiar to digital images in high precision, a smooth picture can be displayed making use of large-size display which has high display ability. (Patent Pending)

2) "Low brightness multi gradation processing" enhancing gradation display up to 1019 colors:

In "AVM-II", a smooth picture display has been made possible even for dark objects by combining floating decimal point arithmetic matching the characteristic of human eyes with multi gradation processing, increasing display colors for dark objects to which detecting ability of human eyes becomes higher and making multi gradation display equivalent to maximum 1019 colors for the darkest objects in designing. (Patent Pending)

3) "Natural color tuning" recognizing and correcting the hue for each pixel:

In displaying pictures, natural color reproduction is made possible only by balancing "natural color" reproducing original colors faithfully and "memory color" based on various human experiences. This balance between "natural color" and "memory color" needs to be maintained by focusing on mono tone color such as color of sky, lawn, human skin.
In order to realize this, we have developed and incorporated "natural color tuning" system recognizing and correcting the hue for each pixel.

In this system, natural and faithful pictures are realized by high displaying ability using floating decimal point arithmetic function of "AVM-II" without relying on so-called "TV color" which exaggerates only "memory color" in CRT age. (Patent Pending)

4) "IAP (Image Adaptive Processing)" distinguishing text and landscape and optimizing each of them:

The integration of TV and PC is rapidly progressing through digitalization of broadcasting and improvement of video reproduction function of PC. In the master screen for home use, it is required to display data information such as text and graphic display and video information such as still and moving pictures at the same time. On the other hand, as data information and video information look entirely different for human eyes, the video signal processing for optimum display is different between them. In the conventional system, different signal processing is made separately for data information and video information. Regardless of input source, by recognizing and processing data information and video information to the optimum for each pixel through "Image Adaptive Processing" system, "AVM-II" can display data information clearly and video information faithfully even for the screen in which data information and video information are mixed. (Patent Pending)

Adopting the newly developed photochromic system reproducing "jet black" which further emphasizes bright color (Contrast ratio 3300 : 1)

The optimum brightness in each scene in which the picture express the bright scene more brightly and the dark scene more darkly is realized by adopting the newly developed photochromic system which optically controls the lamp illumination frame by frame. Thereby, the white image shines more brightly and the black image reproduces "jet black", and the industry's top level of contrast ration 3300 : 1 is realized. (Patent pending)

Appearance design with profound beauty matching high-end Home Theater

We won the 2004 Good Design Award with the style which was designed taking the integration with interior design into consideration by employing a prominent interior designer Mr. Shigeru Uchida. Also, incorporating its concept into the ceiling-hung unit and multi-selector, the advanced design matching the high-end Home Theater is realized.

2-unit configuration convenient for simple installation

As the multi-selector is equipped with HDMI input terminal and projector is connected with multi-selector with one DVI cable, the installation of Home Theater can be made easily.
Furthermore, various system-up arrangements can be made available freely by abundant terminals of video/audio inputs.
