Plasma Displays and the comparison with LCD TV’s, which one is the future?

People tend to confuse terminology with regards to television let’s take for example the “plasma television”. Well technically there is no such thing as a plasma television what you are actually referring to is the display and actually a plasma display panel (PDP) is only one of several types of flat panel displays now commonly used for large TV sets or displays.

To bring it down to its most simplistic form plasma display works effectively by housing many thousands of tiny cells located between two panels of glass which are held in a mixture of inert gasses usually Neon or Xenon.

Depending upon the electrical signal generated and the resulting heat from the reaction with the Phosphors the colour in the cells can vary and this tends to lead to another assumption that in the early days Plasma screens were very much power hungry.

Now this is admittedly a gross over simplification of how Plasma Technology works and may cause the palpitations and increased heart rate if possibly every “techno geek” known to man but in its very essence this is what it does.

Developed in 1964 at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne the actual technology of Plasma displays has been around for some time and indeed is possibly the oldest of the so called “second generation” of technologies in use in television today.

Plasma Display screen sizes can of course vary like most technologies but it is interesting to note that from an initial start where the sizes were little more than 21 inches Plasma technology displays have now grown rapidly to become the largest and widest of all screens by and large available at the present time.

To a certain degree the superior brightness, faster response time and the greater colour spectrum, wider viewing angle of colour plasma displays have over the years “ruled the roost” with regards to large screen displays however technology has changed with regards to LCD TVs and the technological gap has narrowed.

In these eco friendly times you will find that one of the main selling points with LCD screens nowadays lies with the fact that Plasma tend to be very power hungry (and as such warm) and by and large heavier so very much of an environmental disaster zone as far as TV’s are concerned.

From 2006 onwards industry analysts noted that effectively LCD TV’s were overtaking plasma displays particularly in the large 40inch plus market where basically plasma previously enjoyed a massive dominance since the inception of technology. One of the other areas of consolidation within the Industry has seen the Plasma manufacturing base very much consolidate with now over 50 brands being manufactured by only 5 companies – this of course has led to economies of scale hitherto imagined where the technology of more and more screens can be shared and further help cut the overall cost base.

Over the years it has been felt that some of the technological aspects of Plasma technology leant it self more to the higher end of screen performances (such as greater brightness control, screen resolution etc) however this is now changing. Whereas LCD was very much seen as a cross between the poorer relation and junior technology of the two, now things have changed and LCD is seen as being very much the technology of the future.
