Technology Behind Plasma Displays
digg writes "CoolTechZone.com has an in-depth article that gives an overview of how Plasma Displays work. From the article: 'So, what exactly is plasma? Plasma by definition is one of the four states of matter (apart from solid, liquid and gas) and consists of positively and negatively charged particles, which are added in roughly the same quantity.' This obviously makes the gas more or less inert but ensures that the charged particles are free to conduct electricity. Plasma can be produced if a gas is energized enough to split the molecules into positive and negatively charged ions. Mostly, the plasma displays use a mixture of noble gases like Neon and Xenon."
We've actually doubled the number of states of matter in the past half century.
Yes but apathy is still the one true state of matter.
Do not try to read the dupe, thats impossible. Instead, only try to realize the truth
What truth?
There is no dupe
I'm waiting for the new Bose-Einstein condensate displays to arrive. They should be really cool.
If only chicks went down as easy as that server.

If your math professor really was so discreet, he would never have shown you his model...
It'll be nice to change the outcome of football games simlpy by observing them.
I really hate Dan Patrick.
