A BIT OF PLASMA HISTORY
Plasma screens first entered the US market towards the end of 1999,
but the concept has been around since July of 1964 at the University
of Illinois. The first displays were nothing more than points of
light created in laboratory experiments. The technology was developed
and improved, and by the late 60's, it had become advanced enough
to allow the scientists to construct geometric shapes.
Today the progression in high speed digital processing, materials,
and advanced manufacturing technology has made full color, bright
plasma displays possible.
Digital television is now a reality -- but you're not going to see
it the way it was meant to be seen using yesterday's TV sets. Today,
we're in the midst of a digital video revolution, thanks to HDTV,
DTV, DVD-Video, digital satellite broadcasts and computer video.
Plasma display technology is one way to fully enjoy the dramatically
improved image quality of all these digital video sources.
This first step is a brief guide about plasma technology starting
with the history and leading into the main benefits and advantages
of plasma technology.
