- Plasma screens contain tiny pockets of gas that get excited when voltage is applied to them, turning them into a state of plasma. In that state, the voltage then strikes electrons of mercury, turning them into ultraviolet (UV) light, which isn't visible to the human eye.

Mar 19, 2002 · The basic idea of a plasma display is to illuminate tiny, colored fluorescent lights to form an image. Each pixel is made up of three fluorescent lights -- a red light, a green light and a blue light.

Oct 19, 2013 · The principle is simple: instead of using a beam of electrons to create the lines on a TV screen, the plasma screen uses what are in effect tiny quick-acting fluorescent light cells to form a...

A plasma display panel is a type of flat-panel display that uses small cells containing plasma: ionized gas that responds to electric fields. Plasma televisions were the first large (over 32 inches diagonal) flat-panel displays to be released to the public.
May 30, 2024 · Plasma was the dawning of the age of true, slim flatscreen TVs. If you don't recall these wonders of the TV age, plasmas were super slender by standards then, albeit positively chunky by today's measure. They also ran pretty hot, consumed lots of power and had to be kept upright even in transit.
May 8, 2014 · In a plasma TV, the cell in which the gas is contained creates its own light. This means that when an image is made up of contrasting light and dark areas, the TV can produce nearly perfect black where it needs to. The control is accurate to the pixel. On an LCD TV there are two types of backlight.
