The History of Plasma TV
May 10, 2007
Plasma TV is one of the most sophisticated products available in the electronics market in recent times. Originally developed as a technology for big-sized televisions, plasma display has revolutionized every aspect of TV viewing with its excellent picture quality, image depth and most importantly, its exact facsimile of real world with billions of colours.
Today, we have a wide range of digital video devices like HDTV, DTV, and DVD that boast high quality image production but require excellent output devices like Plasma Display or LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). The larger Plasma Display Panels (PDP) with their excellent brightness, their faster response time, wider viewing angle and greater colour range has an edge over LCDs in terms of affordable price.
The concept of Plasma Display Panel dates back to 1964 when Donald L. Blitzer, H.Gene Slottow and a graduate student Robert Wilson designed the first single colour plasma display panel at University of Illinois for Plato Computer System.
Plasma display Panels were originally monochrome and had either green or orange display for the next two decades. Although Plasma display Panels were popular in the early 1970s for their huge screen size and sleek profile, they were generally used in multi-viewers environment like stock exchanges or big halls.
Fujitsu, a Japanese company designed the worlds first multi-colour display with 21 screen in 1992. In 1996, Panasonic, another Japanese electronics company bought Plasma co, an American based company and its technical expertise in plasma technology and started to manufacture Plasma Display Panels. However, only in 1997, the first commercial Plasma Display Panel entered the market and began to gain popularity in the subsequent years. In 1998, Plasma Display Panel was used for televising Olympic events and it turned out to be a great success. The electronic giant Panasonic built worlds largest Plasma TV in
Plasma Displays have better compatibility with almost all video formats - VCR, DVD, DTV and HDTV and even digital DVI connectors. They make excellent display devices for home theatres, video presentations in schools, colleges, training centers and video conferencing in business.
The use of plasma TV in public display system is immense. Larger plasmas make excellent display systems in stadiums, highway terminals, big halls in hotels or banks, advertising panels etc. Larger Plasmas (above 42 inches) are certainly cheaper as the LCD of the similar size will cost almost thrice.
