The PDM-5520 uses a highly advanced e-ALIS Method (extended Alternate Lighting of Surface) panel whose pixels are defined electronically rather than physically, allowing each picture element to be smaller than normal. This creates a higher pixel count for a smoother, seamless picture. The panel employs a unique plasma gas and luminescent materials that are more effective than previous types, and the area coated with the luminescent material is greater. This results in the industry's highest level of brightness, 1,000 cd/m2. The 1,366 x 768 resolution provides a completely HDTV picture, with no noise at the edges.
