Also called "gas discharge display," a plasma display was an earlier flat-screen technology that used tiny cells lined with phosphor that were full of inert ionized gas (typically a mix of xenon ...

A linear plasma generator has reached the design specifications, making China the second country in the world, after the ...

Plasma TVs were subject to image retention and burn-in, which are faint images that remain on screen due to static material displayed for long periods such as channel logos. Image retention was ...

which operated on cathode-ray tubes that caused the screen to flicker. Partnering with fellow Illinois professor Gene Slottow and graduate student Robert Willson, he helped invent the plasma ...

the screen—in effect—short-circuits the slow modes, making them fizzle out before they propagate into the plasma. The suppression of slow modes depends greatly on how much the Faraday screen ...

Scientists have simulated a groundbreaking solution to boost fusion efficiency by eliminating "slow modes," unhelpful waves ...

Donald Bitzer, whose invention of the plasma screen in the 1960s made possible the ultra-thin TVs used today, died at his home in Cary on Tuesday at the age of 90. Bitzer’s career contributions ...

The simulations demonstrated that the screen allowed the low-frequency heating waves (called the helicon waves) from the antenna to pass into the plasma. However, slow modes were stopped.
