Plasma display. Each pixel is a small plasma gas cell (think tiny fluorescent light). Pixel cell is a chamber of gas with a chemical coating. Electrical charge across cell causes the gas to emit UV-rays that are absorbed by the coating, which releases it as a colored photon (light) Different chemicals release different colors. Not all chemicals have same lifespan, so certain colors, especially blues don't last as long. + Economical for large displays > 30" * 2010 Panasonic introduced a 152" model. 14.5 ft. + Better black/white contrast than most LCD. - Uses as much power as CRTs. Newer models and modes can reduce power by 1/2. 50" 200-400 Watts + Offers larger viewing angle than LCDs. - Early devices had short lifespan, newer devices > 15 Yrs. = Device thickness fairly good - 1 - 4" common + Fast refresh rate, low motion blur. - Burn in, newer displays slightly shift display over time to avoid. - Blocks of certain colors may appear to shimmer. - doesn't work well at high altitudes. - interferes with AM, ham, and shortwave radio - resolution fixed, so non-native images may not scale well.
