The Fact! Because the technology is there. In 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) enacted legislation compelling the nation’s 1600+ television stations to change the way they broadcast their programming-i.e., to start transmitting it digitally. This has allowed the media to offer digital broadcasts in parallel with their existing analog ones, giving consumers the opportunity to watch regular TV while they make the switch to DTV. Thus began the rise of digital television (DTV) in America. For now, the FCC has allocated an additional channel spectrum to the media.

And DTV will be the new standard in broadcasting. Sure, you’ll still be able to watch your favorite shows in analog like always, but you’ll need to “update” your existing TV with a device that converts digital signals into analog ones. Once the transition to digital is complete-by the year 2006 or by the time 85% of US households get digital feeds, whichever occurs later-the federal government will auction off the original analog channel spectrum. All of which begs the question: Why not just go with the digital flow?

The science behind plasma TV technology is really quite amazing. Plasma TVs are the latest in the world of televisions and offer features that TV viewers have never seen before. Plasma screens actually first entered the market towards the end of the year 1999, although they were invented and marketed long before that.

How it Works
The basic idea of a plasma display is to illuminate tiny, colored fluorescent lights that result in forming an image. Each separate pixel in the screen is made up of a red light, blue light, and a green light, which are then evenly distributed on the screen.

Xenon and neon atoms are a major part of plasma TV technology, and they are used in the plasma screens that release light photons when excited.

History of Plasma Technology
The very first plasma television was invented in 1964 at the University of Illinois by professors Donald Bitzer and Gene Slottow, and a graduate student who was assisting them with their research. These gentlemen had been using regular televisions as computer monitors, but they knew that a cathode-ray display, used on a regular television, has to constantly refresh, making it an unacceptable long-term solution for displaying computer graphics. After countless hours of research, they built the first plasma display panel with one cell. In contrast, plasma TVs today use millions of cells to display an image.

Usually, the price of a Plasma TV would be far cheaper than an LCD TV. This is due to the cost of producing the LCD display panel and the quality of the LCD display itself. Although in general the Plasma TV’s resolution is not as good as an LCD TV’s, it can still produce very sharp images compared to CRT TV’s with the help of various technology.

Plasma TV’s and LCD TV’s should not be confused with each other, as some people tend to do. Plasma televisions basically use a plasma discharge inside, compared to LCDs which uses a mercury based active matrix system. This TV tends to be more popular among households these days compared to LCD TV’s and this is simply because of one thing; the price.
