Plasma TV
A plasma TV is a type of flat panel display often used for large television displays (typically
above 37 inches or 940 millimeters (mm)). It has flat screen displays but are produced by a very
different technology. Plasma display technology offers the advantages of producing displays with
large, very thin screens and bright images with wide viewing angles. With the advent of "seamless"
plasma display technology, it has become possible to display more than one image on the video wall
simultaneously, to adjust color balance, and to switch between contents from multiple inputs in the
video wall.
Plasma displays are bright (1000 lux or higher for the module), have a wide color , and can
be produced in fairly large sizes, up to 381 cm (150 inches) diagonally. They have a very low-
luminance "dark-room" black level, compared to the lighter gray of the non-illuminated parts of an
LCD screen. The display panel is only about six cm (2.5 inches) thick, while the total thickness,
including electronics, is less than ten cm (four inches).
Plasma TVs have more pixels (tiny dots that when put together can create an image on a
picture) per inch than the old fashioned cathode ray tube (CRT) screens so they can produce a much
sharper image. You will find out that most Plasma screens have a wide screen option so you can see
movies in the way they were intended for movie theaters. They are also ideal for the latest digital
broadcasting methods. One of the big advantages is the space saving. The wider the screen, the
larger the volume of the television would be. Plasma screens are also very light especially when
compared to a rear projection TV. they can be hung very easily to a suitable wall. Most brackets can
be tilted if you want to view from a different angle. Plasma TVs can display up to 16 million colors so
not only are they great for watching TV programs, they also make a good screen for the
latest computer games consoles. Most Plasma TV's have inputs for HDMI and laptop
computers connections making them ideal to use to display products and sales messages in offices
and shops.
The plasma video display was co-invented in 1964 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-
Champaign by Donald Bitzer, H. Gene Slottow, and graduate student Robert Willson for the PLATO
Computer System. The original monochrome (orange, green, yellow) video display panels were very
popular in the early 1970s. In 1992, Fujitsu introduced the world's first 21-inch (53-cm) full-color
display. Since then, plasma displays have become thinner and larger in screen size
