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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Chinese team develops a superconducting linear plasma device to test materials for nuclear fusion reactors, advancing clean ...
Scientists have simulated a groundbreaking solution to boost fusion efficiency by eliminating "slow modes," unhelpful waves ...
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 ...
