Alternate lighting of surfaces
Encyclopedia
Alternate lighting of surfaces (ALiS) is type of plasma display
technology jointly developed by Fujitsu
and Hitachi
in 1999. Alternate lighting of surfaces uses an interlaced scanning method rather than a progressive
one. This technique allows native lower resolution plasma display panels to display at higher resolutions. This technique also helps in prolonging panel life and power consumption reductions.
