Is plasma a safe buy?

In the present times, it has been noticed that the wide range of bulky television sets are slowly fading into oblivion and they have paved the way for a newer and sleeker version known as the flat screen technology. Since the beginning of experimentations with the flat screen techniques, several technological tools have been devised for the proper functioning of these wide screen devices. A very prominent technical tool used for this purpose has been the plasma display technique. The plasma display is constituted by several components like scores of gas filled cells which are placed between the glass plates, dielectric materials, two sets of electrodes and certain protective layers. These protective layers are constituted by Magnesium Oxide. In the plasma display itself the pixels are made up of a series of subpixel cells totaling three in number. The three subpixel cells are constituted by the three primary colors which are visible to the human eye i.e. red, blue and green and therefore the plasma display pixels are made up of subpixel cells of red, green and blue phosphorus. The total effect of colors in a pixel is created by a combination of the light rays emitted by the subpixel cells.

Plasma displays are quite popular and widely used as they have several merits. An important advantage that can be noted in this case that compared to the LCD screens, it is easier and also less expensive to manufacture these flat screens and unlike the liquid crystal displays or LCDs they can provide better angles of viewing. They are also sleeker and slimmer. It is interesting to note that since the pixels in a plasma display can be turned off completely, it is possible to attain better display resolution, contrast and brightness.

However, one must be aware that plasma screens, unlike LCDs are prone to burn-ins and they are available in larger display sizes, the minimum being around 37 inches and run the risk of producing defective pixels.
