Diamond Vision

A combination of chemicals mixed into the distinctive blue Diamond Vision faceplate absorbs room light to create deeper, brighter, more exciting colors--truer by 40% . We added other color-absorbing chemicals to absorb undesirable light elements from those emitted by the phosphors of the picture tube. Then painstakingly re-engineered the phosphors themselves to match the new screen's transmission characteristics. The result was not only a picture relatively unaffected by ambient light, but a dramatically improved picture overall.

Diamond Vision II / Scandium Cathode

By using Scandium Oxide, Mitsubishi engineers have developed the world's first truly high-current cathode, capable of up to 40% more brightness output. In addition, our new Dynamic Beam forming actively refocuses the beam at every position on the screen, enabling us to minimize distortion. So our Diamond Vision II offers 15% sharper focus at the center of the picture and 40% improvement at the edges. The DVII electron gun also incorporates additional electromagnetic "lenses" that provide a sizeable improvement in electron beam control. Better focus produces a smaller beam, so fine details can be resolved at the screen.
