Is the "plasma" in plasma TV's the same as the state-of-matter plasma? If not, what is it?

Answer 1

Yes it is. Each pixel is illuminated by a tiny electrical discharge through gas, which excites it to make a tiny conducting plasma which emits UV light which excites phosphors of various colors.

Answer 2

Plasma isn't jelly. Plasma is count at this way of intense temperature that the electrons strip off remote from the nuclei. The glowing "gasoline" in a fluorescent bulb is plasma. The seen glow in a lightning bolt is plasma. it really is the "fourth" state of count because earlier it became labeled, there have been 3 others: strong, liquid, and gasoline.

Answer 3

"The central element in a fluorescent light is a plasma, a gas made up of free-flowing ions (electrically charged atoms) and electrons (negatively charged particles). Under normal conditions, a gas is mainly made up of uncharged particles. That is, the individual gas atoms include equal numbers of protons (positively charged particles in the atom's nucleus) and electrons. The negatively charged electrons perfectly balance the positively charged protons, so the atom has a net charge of zero."

Answer 4

no its not
