from: How Plasma TV Came Into Being
Flat TV has been the latest fad into audio-visual technology today and seeing a TV as large as 37 inches in size sometimes is treated as a symbol of status quo. Flat TV panel display run competitively with the old technology of the bulky type we had several years ago.
The idea of Plasma TV came in as early as 1964 in the University of Illinois and was co-invented by Donald Bitzer, H. Gene Slottow, and graduate student Robert Willson for the PLATO Computer System in Urbana- Campaign. The original monochrome of orange, green and yellow become very popular in the early 1970 due to its flexibility such that it does not need memory or circuitry just to refresh the images.
Plasma TV display panel falls under the category of flat panel display and is a high demand when we talk of high definition technology and image quality.
However due to its expensive cost, plasma TV Sales suffered a long gradual decline in the sales in the latter part of the 1970s, as stiff competition between plasma TV and the CRT TV raised drastically. The CRT TV was made affordable to the market compared to the Plasma TV. Even so, the plasma displays' comparatively large screen size and thin body made them fit for high-profile placement in lobbies and stock exchanges.
The decline in sales did not stop the developer to further expand its production and in 1992, Fujitsu introduced the world's first 21-inch (53 cm) full-color display. It was a hybrid, based upon the plasma display created at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and NHK STRL, achieving superior brightness and quality.
In the 1997, Pioneer, one of the market leaders in the audio-visual technology started selling the first plasma TV within its product line. Many current plasma televisions, thinner and of larger area than their predecessors, are in use. Their thin size allows them to compete with large area projection screens.
Screen sizes adjusted since the introduction of plasma displays. The largest plasma video display in the world at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, North America was a 150-inch (381 cm) unit manufactured by Matsushita Electrical Industries (Panasonic) standing 6 ft (180 cm) tall by 11 ft (330 cm) wide and expected to initially retail at US$150,000.
Until recently, with the increasing demand for the superior brightness, faster response time, greater color spectrum, and wider viewing angle of color plasma video displays, when compared with LCD televisions, made them one of the most popular forms of display for HDTV (high definition televisions) flat panel displays.
The progression of the television industry grew rapidly with the last few years. A growing trend is the consolidation of the plasma TV manufacturers with around 50 brands unified but only 5 manufactures. This is to offset the increasing competition in the market and regulate the technology for the audio-visual industry.
The development for Plasma TV continuous as the struggle for high quality and affordability is in demand at the consumer market.
