What is flat screen Plasma display technology?

Flat panel plasma display is one of the latest display technologies; it is capable of excellent image quality, with large, flat screen displays that are easily viewable in almost any environment. Plasma display panels consist of an array of cells, known as pixels, each of which is composed of three sub-pixels, corresponding to the colors red, green, and blue. Gas in the plasma state is used to react with phosphors in each sub-pixel to produce colored light (red, green, or blue). These are the same phosphors as used in cathode ray tube (CRT) devices. Compatible 720p HDTV plasma will have around 2.76 million sub-pixels while 1080p HDTVs have 6.22 million sub-pixels, each individually controlled by state-of-the-art electronics.
