14. applications for plasma displays
Fujitsu has broadly divided flat panel displays into three categories: LCDs,
Projection LCDs and PDPs. LCDs are best used in devices such as notebook or
desktop computers and other relatively small screens that are used by one person
at a time, with screens generally no larger than 20 inches. Projection type LCDs
usually cover the other side of the display size spectrum with screens that are
generally larger than 70 inches but with less quality picture. PDPs, which are
expected to cover the middle and the widest market of flat panel displays with
applications such as large screen televisions, home theaters, large public
displays, etc. PDP has a very wide viewing angle which best suites uses by large
groups of people.
Within the framework of PDP technology for home use in applications using
screens ranging from 20 to 100 inches, the company believes that demand for
larger displays in the home will be fueled by factors such as high definition
television and a better multimedia infrastructure with services such as video on
demand. Wall-hanging TVs have long been a dream for many people and this is
finally becoming a reality. PDPs have viewing angles of more than 1600 making
them even more suitable for television use than CRT since the flat surface of
the panel in fact gives a wider angle than the curved CRT.
Outside the home, PDPs will be the technology of choice for applications such
as financial terminals, public transportation, in-store displays, medium-sized
displays in places such as department stores, museums, libraries or government
offices as well as leisure facilities of all types. Large PDPs could be used to
create artificial "windows" in underground facilities such as shopping
malls or restaurants.
Other applications include aircraft cockpits, operating rooms, large
transportation vehicles and scientific field equipment.
