PLASMA DISPLAY Monal Julka monaljulka1991@gmail.

com Introduction A plasma display panel (PDP) is a type of flat panel display common to large TV displays 30 inches (76 cm) or larger. They are called "plasma" displays because the technology utilizes small cells containing electrically charged ionized gases, or what are in essence chambers more commonly known as fluorescent lamps. Working and Applications A plasma display panel is an array of hundreds of thousands of small, luminous cells positioned between two plates of glass. Each cell is essentially a tiny neon lamp filled with rarefied neon, xenon, and other inert gases; the cells are luminous when they are electrified through "electrodes". The characteristics of LCD monitors small size with high resolution, image lag, low power consumption and ability to show static images for longer times without burn-in make them suitable for non-residential applications and some small-screen residential applications such as personal computing and keypad controls. But for custom installation home entertainment systems, LCDs fall short in screen size, color accuracy, contrast, peak brightness performance and motion clarity. Clearly, plasma monitors are the only choice for bigscreen home theater applications. Less bulky than rear-projection televisions Improved picture quality

Disadvantages
Physical Generally do not come in smaller sizes than 37 inches Heavier than LCD due to the requirement of a glass screen to hold the gases References www.google.com www.wikipedia.com Submitted by Monal Julka ECE-5th sem Batch-B2
