DEFINATION
A plasma display panel (PDP) is a type of
flat panel display.
They are called "plasma" displays because the
pixels rely on plasma cells are fluorescent lamps.
General characteristics
Plasma displays are bright (1,000 lux or higher for the module)
They have a very low-luminance "dark-room" black level compared to the lighter grey
Plasma displays use as much power per square meter
Power consumption varies greatly with picture content, with bright scenes drawing
significantly more power than darker ones
Typical power consumption is 400 watts for a 50-inch (127 cm) screen. 200 to 310 watts for
a 50-inch (127 cm) display when set to cinema mode.
Panasonic has greatly reduced power consumption ("1/3 of 2007 models")
The lifetime of the latest generation of plasma displays is estimated at 100,000 hours of
actual display time, or 27 years at 10 hours per day.
Plasma display screens are made from glass, which reflects more light than the material
used to make an LCD screen.
Currently, plasma panels cannot be economically manufactured in screen sizes smaller
than 32 inches.
Though considered bulky and thick compared to their LCD counterparts, some sets such
as Panasonic's Z1 and Samsung's B860 series are as slim as one inch thick making them
comparable to LCDs in this respect.
MERITS
Slim profile
Can be wall mounted
Less bulky than rear-projection televisions
Wider viewing angles than those of LCD; images do not suffer from
degradation at high angles unlike LCDs
Less susceptible to reflection glare in bright rooms due to not needing
backlighting
Virtually no motion blur, thanks in large part to very high refresh rates and a
faster response time, contributing to superior performance when displaying
content with significant amounts of rapid motion
PIXEL SHIFTING
Pixel shifting is a method implemented by plasma TV Manufacturers
that prevents static images (e.g., station bugs, videogames) from
causing image retention and burn-ins. The entirevideo frame is moved
periodically (vertically and / or horizontally) so there are effectively no
static images.
The firmware on some high end Samsung plasma TVs moves the video
horizontally and vertically so many pixels every minutes.[
Some TVs even allow the user define the number of pixels moved and
their interval.
Pixel shifting is sometimes used with other burn in prevention
methods like screen saver or power management functions.
A technique which increases the true resolution of devices such as
digital microscopes by moving the CCD by fractions of a pixel in the x-
and y-directions is also called pixel shifting[2].
DEMERITS
In 1992, Fujitsu introduced the world's first 21-inch (53 cm) full-color display. It was a hybrid, the
plasma display created at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and NHK STRL.
In 1994, Weber demonstrated color plasma technology at an industry convention in San Jose.
RESOLUTION
Fixed-pixel displays such as plasma TVs scale the video image of each
incoming signal to the native resolution of the display panel.
The most common native resolutions for plasma display panels are
853×480 (EDTV), 1,366×768 or 1,920×1,080 (HDTV).
As a result picture quality varies depending on the performance of the
video scaling proce1024×1024

How plasma displays works
Source AR
Even though most widescreen sources have an AR either narrower
or wider than 16:9, they're generally encoded to fit into a 16:9 Frame
in order to display properly on a widescreen TV. This may result in
black borders being added to reach the appropriate Resolution or
the edges of the frame being cropped.
RGB HISTORY
To form a color with RGB, three colored light beams must be
superimposed
Each of the three beams is called a component of that color, and each of
them can have an arbitrary intensity.
The RGB color model is additive in the sense that the three light beams are
added together, and their light spectra add, wavelength for wavelength, to
make the final color's spectrum.
Zero intensity for each component gives the darkest color (no light,
considered the black), and full intensity of each gives a white.
When the intensities for all the components are the same, the result is a
shade of gray, darker or lighter depending on the intensity.
When the intensities are different, the result is a colorized hue, more or
less saturated depending on the difference of the strongest and weakest of
the intensities of the primary colors employed.
When one of the components has the strongest intensity, the color is a
hue near this primary color (reddish, greenish, or bluish),
when two components have the same strongest intensity, then the color is
a hue of a secondary color (a shade of cyan, magenta or yellow).
The RGB color model itself does not define what is meant by red, green,
and blue colorimetrically, and so the results of mixing them are not
specified as absolute, but relative to the primary colors.

blue
