1.Introduction
1.1 What is Plasma?
Plasma ?
Plasma is by far the most common form of matter.
Plasma in the stars and in the tenuous space between them makes up over 99% of the visible universe and perhaps
most of that which is not visible.
Plasma consists of a collection of free-moving electrons and ions - atoms that have lost electrons.
Energy is needed to strip electrons from atoms to make plasma. The energy can be of various origins:thermal, electrical,
or light (ultraviolet light or intense visible light from a laser). With insufficient sustaining power, plasmas recombine into
neutral gas.


Solid Liquid Gas Ion, Electron: The 4th State of Matter

G Plasma can be accelerated and steered Plasma -The 4th State of Matter
by electric and magnetic fields which
allows it to be controlled and applied.
Plasma research is yielding a greater
understanding of the universe.
It also provides many practical uses: new
manufacturing techniques, consumer
products, and the prospect of abundant
energy.
Ex.) Lightning, Aurora, Nebula, Flames,
Neon Sign, Solar core




1.2 What is Plasma Display Panel (PDP)?
(1) How does it work?
Plasma display panel is the latest display technology and the best way to achieve flat panel displays with excellent
image quality and large screen sizes that are easily viewable in any environment. The PDP can be thought of as a
descendant of the neon lamp and it can be also be viewed as a series of fluorescent lamps. PDP is an array of
cells, known as pixels, which are composed of 3 sub-pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue. Gas
in a plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue).
These phosphors are the same types used in Cathode Ray Tube (CRT) devices such as televisions and standard
computer monitors. You get the rich, dynamic colors that you expect. Each sub-pixel is individually controlled by
advanced electronics to produce over 16 million different colors. All of this means that you get perfect images that
are easily viewable in a display that is less than 5 inches thick.
