Why are plasma screens called "plasma screens"??

Question

How does it all work?

Answer 1

It involves the plasma particles picking up the reception from the beta gun inside the tv to show you a picture.

Answer 2

A plasma display panel (PDP) is a type of flat panel display now commonly used for large TV displays (typically above 37-inch or 940 mm). Many tiny cells located between two panels of glass hold an inert mixture of noble gases (neon and xenon). The gas in the cells is electrically turned into a plasma which then excites phosphors to emit light.

Answer 3

Because you have to sell quite a bit of blood before you can afford to buy one.

Actually, the screen has inert gases in it that jump to a plasma state when they have an electric charged passed thru them.
