How A Plasma Display Works
Construction
- A plasma panel is two sheets of 1/16 inch glass
- The glass is shown here in edge view
- Uniform spacers separate the sheets of glass
- The spacers also create R-G-B sub-pixels
- Transparent electrodes are coated inside the glass
- Two on the front and one on the rear glass
- Phosphor is coated into the inside of the rear glass
- This phosphor resembles CRT phosphor
- The sub-pixel is filled with a mixture of neon & xenon
Activation Process
- A voltage differential is created between the front electrodes
- A voltage differential is created between the front electrodes
- The resulting electric field adds energy to the gas mixture
- A second voltage is applied to the rear glass electrode
- A voltage differential is created on the ADRESS electrodes
- A second voltage is applied to the rear glass electrode
- This electric field changes the gas to a plasma state
- The change of state to plasma releases ultraviolet energy
- The change of state to plasma releases ultraviolet energy
- The UV excites the phosphor and it emits visible light
