4. Panasonic’s Definition of “True Image”
The pictures you see at home may be very different from the images that filmmakers intended to express.
It was Panasonic’s aim to achieve
“true image”—the image that achieves the “Director’s Intention.”
そこで私たちは、 Trueイメージはどのようにすれば完成すのか
原点に戻って考えました。高画質を実現するには実際に作品を手掛けた
制作者の意図” Director’s Intention”を忠実にディスプレイに再現すればよいと
気がついたのです。

*Aspherical lens
Image Clarity and Sharpness
Manufactured in Japan: The same factory that makes Leica lenses for Lumix Cameras*
Each lens is aligned by highly skilled technicians
Adds Life to Images
Aspherical Lens
Aspherical lens: lens whose surfaces have a profile that is neither a portion of a sphere nor of a circular cylinder The asphere's more complex surface profile can eliminate spherical aberration and reduce other optical aberrations compared to a simple lens. A single aspheric lens can often replace a much more complex multi-lens system. The resulting device is smaller and lighter, and possibly cheaper than the multi-lens design.

Thirdly, I would like to explain what the dynamic iris is.
Input signal will be analyzed by each frame by 1/60 seconds.(0.017sec)
Analysis will detect the volume of brightness signal within the frame.
After that iris will adjust appropriate light intensity and supply to the
LCD panel.
Only Panasonic can activate sequence of movement by frame.
