| Content | 5770 Ambler Drive, Mississauga ON L4W 2T3 Panasonic is the first company in the world to eliminate the use of lead in all plasma display panels Panasonic, the leading brand for which Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd. is best known, has become the first company in the world to achieve the elimination of lead in plasma display panels (PDPs) used as the central picture component in its plasma TVs and plasma modules1. Non-use of lead content for manufacturing plasma display panels (PDPs) began with Panasonic s new plasma TV lineup launched in Europe and U.S. in Spring 2006. With the recent introduction of the world s largest plasma HDTV, the 103” PDP-TV, Panasonic has avoided the use of lead in all of its plasma TV models for 2006. In conventional manufacturing processes for plasma display panels, lead oxide glass is used as a key component for the dielectric layer2, electrodes3, seal frit4 and other structural elements to form the panel. Until now, lead oxide glass was essential for adjusting the softening points5 of several different materials to build dielectric layers. If no lead oxide glass were used for PDP manufacturing, it would be hard to optimize the softening points of each material for stable production yields and quality. Also, development of an alternative material for lead oxide has been considered to be extremely difficult. Panasonic has now successfully completely avoided the use of lead oxide glass with the application of the following innovative methods: ♦ Development of new materials for the dielectric layer, electrodes and other parts whose characteristics and reliability are similar to those of lead oxide glass. This has been made possible by the use of uniquely developed additives6 for certain elements7 with characteristics similar to lead oxide glass, and refined material composition of the non-glass components8. ♦ In the PDP manufacturing process, heating conditions9 in every process has been optimized, thus enabling secure stable production yield and quality levels. These new methods have been introduced at every PDP manufacturing plant and all Panasonic plasma TV models for 2006 are made with lead-free panels. In addition to becoming the first to avoid the use of lead in PDPs, Panasonic has aggressively taken the following environmental initiatives in the manufacturing of its plasma TVs and other electronic devices. I. Environmental Initiative at the state-of-the-art Amagasaki PDP manufacturing plant a. Reduction of energy consumption and improvement of production efficiency in the manufacturing process b. Use of rainwater (for watering the lawn) c. Use of natural energy sources (including energy generation with the solar/wind power generator Kazekamome d. Purification with photo-catalyst (outer-wall of the plant coated with photo-catalytic material, which contributes to the reduction of harmful substances such as Nitrogen and Sulfur oxide) e. Tracking and management system for disposing waste and refuse by using GPS and video information II. Improvement of packaging and transportation efficiency for plasma TVs10 a. Reduction of packaging materials (14% reduction by weight) b. Optimization of packaging size and style based on trailer capacity (7% reduction in package capacity) III. Improvement in product development and design of PDP a. Large reduction of glass material for panels (weight of panel reduced by a maximum of 23% compared to the previous models) b. Number of components has been reduced by 30% (compared to the previous models)10 c. Reduction of CO2 emissions per unit - plasma panel by 48% (at Amagasaki Plant compared to other Panasonic plasma display panel plants) |
