Q. What is the Difference Between an LCD TV and a Plasma TV? May 9, 2007 Alan Cooke About.com is famous for their back to basics articles. One such article that caught my eye is their article on the differences between LCDs and plasmas. If you need to know the basics on display devices this is the place to go. About.com Plasma television technology is based loosely on the fluorescent light bulb. The display itself consists of cells. Within each cell two glass panels are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process. The gas is electrically charged at specific intervals when the Plasma set is in use. The charged gas then strikes red, green, and blue phosphors, thus creating a television image. Each group of red, green, and blue phosphors is called a pixel (picture element). FacebookTwitterEmail tagged with Display Devices News
