Plasma TV vs CRT TV

The advent of HDTV, DTV, SDTV, DVD, and other new media have created a demand for larger, higher-resolution displays. Plasma Display technology provides several key advantages over conventional CRTs (Cathode Ray Tubes) and LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) panels.

Cathode Ray Tube Plasma Television

CRT TECHNOLOGY:
CRTs use a beam of electrons to stimulate phospors and thus make the image. The beam strikes the phospor cells at an angle, however, and this creates a larger spot size. Also, because it is difficult to focus the beam at all points, the image will be less precise in some areas.

PLASMA TECHNOLOGY:
Each Pixel contains 3 cells: Green, Red, and Blue. Plasma Display Panels stimulate phosphor cells individually with electrodes.  There is no loss of focus.



CRT RESULTS:
  • Geometric distortion.
    The picture on a CRT will always have a certain amount of distortion.
     
  • Uneven light output.
    The picture on a CRT will have areas that are brighter and areas that are darker than others.
     
  • Difficulty focusing across the entire screen.
    The picture on a CRT will have some regions that are not as focused as others.
     
  • Picture distorted by magnetic fields.
    The CRT's electron beam can be influenced by magnetic fields, which results is a distorted image.


PLASMA RESULTS:
  • No geometric distortion.
    The plasma panel's accurate cell structure produces a picture that is geometrically perfect.
     
  • Even light output.
    The plasma panel is perfectly evenly illuminated - no dark or hot spots.
     
  • Perfect focus.
    The plasma panel has perfect focus across the entire screen
     
  • No susceptibility to magnetic fields.
    The plasma panel is not affected by magnetic fields.
