Abstract;PDPs have obtained the highest device quality in the field of large area displays by the recent progress of their technology, and show high image quality and low power consumption. In the progress of PDP technology, Pioneer has been acting in a leading role and has introduced many basic technologies, i.e. "world first technologies by Pioneer", as shown by the following examples; high luminous efficacy technology of T-shape electrode and WAFFLE rib structure with high xenon content gas, and high image quality and power reduction technology of CLEAR driving method and Direct color filter. The newly introduced Crystal Emissive Layer (CEL) technology, which has opened up new aspects in PDP technology, has been introduced to the 6th generation PDPs and newly introduced full HD (1080p) 50-inch PDPs with its excellent characteristics of stable weak discharge and high speed discharge. Comparing the device performance of PDP to that of other display devices, e.g. LCD, SED, rear projection display, etc., PDPs show excellent picture quality, simple structure of self light emitting device and high productivity while retaining a large potential for improvement. PDPs will continue to be the main device of large area display in this just-started HD-TV era. (author abst.)
