Plasma - Display technology used in large-screen, flat-panel TVs. Each plasma panel contains thousands of tiny tubes that are like miniature fluorescent lights and are filled by ionized gas in a plasma state. When excited by electricity, the tubes glow in different colors and intensities to create an image.
