When Panasonic engineers set out to develop a home-use 3D theater system, the aim was set to bring exactly the same richness and realism that you see in a 3D cinema, right into the living room. The result was FULL HD 3D. The FULL HD 3D’s concept was inspired by Hollywood 3D movie theater systems. Large capacity of Blu-ray Disc™ and excellent moving image performance of the plasma display finally enabled FULL HD 3D into the real system, in which the highest image quality for each eye will be kept in the most pristine form throughout the system.


The technology in which the left-eye and right-eye 3D images are sent to the viewer is the key to 3D image quality. For this, FULL HD 3D uses something called the Frame Sequential technology.
First, the plasma display panel, which has a number of inherent advantages for moving picture resolution, was further advanced to allow images for each of the left and right eyes to be alternately reproduced at the rate of 50 frames per second (fps), making a total of 100 fps for both eyes*. Viewers watch the images through high-precision 3D Eyewear, which open and close the left and right shutters in synchronization with the alternating images. As a result, a separate high quality image is sent to each eye. This addresses the image quality problems and blurring that were common to previous 3D systems, and creates sharp, crisp 3D images.

The frame rate varies depending on the 3D image signal being reproduced. For example, 3D images are reproduced at 120 fps (frames per second) for a 60Hz input signal, and 100 fps for a 50Hz input signal. |

Please stop using te 3d Eyewear immediately if you feel tired, are not feeling well or experience any other uncomfortable sensation. |

Greater beauty for both 2D and 3D images -
High-speed 3D Drive Technology
The Frame Sequential technology of FULL HD 3D requires the images to be displayed at 1/100* of a second, which is twice as fast as ordinary full-HD images. If the luminescence time for each frame were simply shortened, the screen brightness would be lowered. To solve this problem, the luminescence time was shortened and the luminescence intensity was raised, which made it possible to produce bright, crisp 3D images.
The high-speed processing capability doubles the gradation of 2D images in comparison with conventional playback. This produces vivid coloring with a tonal expression that approaches the levels we see in nature.
Clear 3D display with minimal afterimage -
Crosstalk Reduction Technology
The Frame Sequential technology shortens the luminescence time for each frame. If the pixel afterglow remains unchanged, the previous image will remain as an afterimage when the next image is produced. Newly developed fast-decay R and G phosphors reduce the afterimage time to 1/3, to create crisp 3D images with no visible afterimage.

Newly developed Fast-Decay Phosphors are used for the red and green phosphors. This reduces the afterimage time to 1/3 that of conventional phosphors while simultaneously expanding the scope of color reproduction. As a result, brighter, sharper images are produced for both 2D and 3D content.
High-precision 3D Eyewear Control Technology
Highly precise timing control for the opening and closing of the shutters minimizes 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 3D TV and 3D Eyewear — to achieve precisely linked operation.

Faithful reproduction of the filmmaker's intention -
New UniPhier Image Processor
The improved processing capabilities of this new engine make it an excellent match for the Frame Sequential technology used in FULL HD 3D. Its vibrant color reproduction faithfully renders the original quality of each 3D image. Panasonic's unique technologies (PHL Reference Chroma Processor Plus and Adaptive High Precision 4:4:4) also reproduce colors and details with even the slightest nuances, textures, and atmosphere of full-HD movies in 1080p — just as the filmmakers intended.
