The secret to plasma technology lies between the two thin panels of mounted glass found within the screen. The panels are comprised of networks of pixels, tiny pockets of compressed gas. Each pixel contains three-subpixels made up of red, green, and blue phosphors -- the same color trio that account for the variety of hues found on all cathode-ray tube (CRT) devices, such as conventional televisions and computer monitors.
But what makes plasma TVs different is that each subpixel is individually controlled by "advanced electronics" to produce over 16 million colors. When an electrical current is applied to a pixel, the gas reacts to form plasma, which in turn produces UV light. The light reacts with the colored phosphors and magically enhances the flat screen to produce higher-contrast ratios and a better, more realistic picture. Because all the pixels emit light at the same time, the viewer never sees a flickering screen.

A plasma is an ionized gas; gases become ionized at very high temperatures or when an electric potential causes breakdown, then the gas conducts an electric current. When the ionized gas carries electric current it emits radiation. The wavelength of the radiation depends on the gas used. In plasma TV and in fluorescent lamps the radiation is ultra-violet (short wave). The UV light makes phospors glow; phosphors are selected to produce the color wanted.

Plasma television is a flat, lightweight surface covered with millions of tiny glass bubbles. Each bubble contains a gas-like substance, the plasma, and has a phosphor coating. Think of the bubbles as the pixels.
Now, think of each pixel-bubble as having three sub-pixels - one red, one green, one blue. When it is time to display an image signal (RGB or video), a digitally controlled electric current flows through the flat screen, causing the plasma inside designated bubbles to give off ultraviolet rays. This light in turn causes the phosphor coatings to glow the appropriate color making your Plasma TV provide the best video image anywhere.

Plasma in Plasma video demonstrate instruments and Televisions is created by ability of thrilling a mix of gasses with electricity. The gasses used are frequently xeon and neon, yet I do have confidence different gasses may be utilized in some circumstances. in case you like an more suitable ruin down, i might recommend Wikipedia. They do have an honest write up on it.

each "pixel" or dot of the TV screen is a little glow discharge tube, like your fluorescent lamp. Plasma is refer to the glow discharge inside this tiny little lamp (micron size).

well all i know is that plasma is a state of matter eg: solid:gas:liquid:plasma its a energysource well thats what my science teacher told me but many people fight becuase some think its gas and some think its its own state i think its its own state
