Don’t say Plasma LCD Televisions. Plasma TV and LCD TV is Different

People often equalize between Plasma TV and LCD TV by call it Plasma LCD televisions. Plasma LCD televisions is nothing. What is right is a plasma televisions and LCD televisions are two different things. They different in technology and range of screen dimension. Normally LCD TV have screen range under 40 inch and Plasma TV have screen range upper 37 inch, but that classification not stiffly. For example Sharp have LCD TV until 60″. The same thing of them is they are tv flat.

 
Let us distinguish between plasma television and LCD televisions. There is one simple way to distinguish the two. Plasma TV’s use gas is call neon-xenon gas to created in the image while the LCD television using liquid crystals to created image.

More sophisticated can be explained as follows:

Plasma television technology is based loosely on the fluorescent light bulb. The display itself consists of cells. Within each cell two glass panels are separated by a narrow gap in which neon-xenon gas is injected and sealed in plasma form during the manufacturing process. The gas is electrically charged at specific intervals when the Plasma set is in use. The charged gas then strikes red, green, and blue phosphors, thus creating a television image. Each group of red, green, and blue phosphors is called a pixel.

Basically, LCD panels are made of two layers of transparent material, which are polarized, and are “glued” together. One of the layers is coated with a special polymer that holds the individual liquid crystals. Current is then passed through individual crystals, which allow the crystals to pass or block light to create images. LCD crystals do not produce their own light, so an external light source, such as florescent bulb is needed for the image created by the LCD to become visible to the viewer.

So, don’t say Plasma LCD televisions again, you can say just “Plasma television” or “LCD television” or “Plasma & LCD televisions”.
