Panel sticking and after-image lag
Displaying the same images such as still images for a long time 
may cause after-image lagging. This may occur in the following two 
cases.
After-image lagging due to remaining electrical load
When image patterns with very high peak luminance are displayed 
for more than 1 minute, after-image lagging may occur due to the 
remaining electric load. The after-images remaining on the screen 
will disappear when moving images are displayed. The time for the 
after-images to disappear depends on the luminance of the still 
images and the time they had been displayed.
After-image (lag image) due to burning
Avoid displaying the same image on the plasma display 
continuously over a long period of time.
If the same image is displayed continuously for long periods or for 
shorter periods of time over several days, a permanent after-image 
may remain on the screen due to burning of the fluorescent 
materials. Such images may become less noticeable if moving 
images are later displayed, but they will not disappear completely.
 Note
• We recommend that you enjoy watching images displayed in 
full screen, except when doing so may result in copyright 
infringement. See page 47.
• To prevent screen burning, the display position is automatically 
changed slightly when the power is switched on or the input 
changed. Depending on the broadcast content, some parts of 
the picture may not be visible.
• The energy save function can be set to help prevent damage 
from screen burning (see page 36).
