A technology used for the creation of one of the two types of thin panel displays. Plasma displays have two glass panels with roughly one million pixels sandwiched between. Each pixel has three cells, one red, one green and one blue. Each cell is filled with a gas and when current is applied the gas emits UV rays which stimulate the phosphors to glow. The process is similar to the way a fluorescent light glows.

The most highly energized phase of matter. Plasma is a collection of highly to fully ionized gas molecules, or a collection of positively charged nuclei and negatively charged electrons. Because it consists of ions, plasma is an excellent conductor of electricity since a current is merely the motion of charged particles, or ions. The other phases of matter are solid, liquid, and gas.

Developes when energy is added to a gas in that way, that its atoms ionise. Electronical neutral mixture of iones, atoms and electrones. Plasma has different electro-chemical features than its accordant gas.

a fourth state of matter-- not a solid, liquid, or gas; in a plasma, the electrons are pulled free from the atoms and can move independently; the individual atoms are charged, even though the total number of positive and negative charges is equal, maintaining overall electrical neutrality

The so-called fourth state of matter, a plasma is an ensemble of ionized particles which are not chemically bonded together. A plasma may be electrically neutral (as in the core of the Sun or ICF fuel pellet) or have a net charge (as is true of a beam in an accelerator). In general, the temperatures necessary for fusion imply that burning fuel is in a plasma state.

One common description of plasma is to describe it as the fourth state of matter. We normally think of the three states of matter as solid, liquid and gas. For a common element, water, these states are ice, water and steam. The difference between these states relates to their energy levels. When we add energy in the form of heat to ice, the ice melts and forms water. When we add more energy, the water vaporizes into hydrogen and oxygen, in the form of steam. By adding more energy to steam these gases become ionised. This ionisation process causes the gas to become electrically conductive. This electrically conductive, ionised gas is called plasma. The plasma cutting process, as used in the cutting of electrically conductive metals, utilises this electrically conductive gas to transfer energy from an electrical power source through a plasma cutting torch to the material being cut. It is then how the plasma gas is controlled through the torch, which effects the final cut quality you see.

Plasma contains an approximately equal number of electrically positive and negative charges, and normally some electrically neutral particles as well. Plasma is formed during hot fusion.

A plasma is a quasineutral gas of charged and neutral particles which exhibit collective behavior. A plasma must satisfy three conditions: (1) the Debye length must be much less than a characteristic distance of the system, (2) the number of particles in a Debye sphere must be much larger than one and (3) the plasma frequency times the mean time between collisions with neutral atoms must be larger than one. Plasmas behave sometimes like fluids and sometimes like a collection of individual particles.

Plasma is a state of matter, often called "the fourth state." The atoms in plasma move around in all directions at high speed. Plasmas are usually very hot and they glow. The sun, northern lights, lightning, and the glowing "gases" in neon sign tubes and fluorescent lamp tubes are examples of plasmas.

A highly excited gas. Plasmas are created by exposing gases at low pressure to an electric or electromagnetic field. In semiconductor processing, plasmas are used for etching and thin film deposition (the excited state of the gas makes it very reactive). In everyday life, plasmas are used to give light in fluorescent light bulbs, neon lamps and blue insect traps.

Just as solids, liquids and gases are states of matter, plasma is a state of matter. Specifically, plasma is ionized gas. That is, gas that has been given an electrical charge by being stripped of electrons. Such ionized gas is the most abundant observable form of matter in the universe, being a main ingredient in stars and nebulas. And as if we're not already seeing enough of the stuff, it's also what goes inside those flat panel displays called "plasmas" that are popping up all around us. Why? Because when you apply an electromagnetic field to plasma, it glows, making for a nice, vibrant TV screen, computer monitor, or digital signage.

As temperature rises, most materials change from solid, to liquid, to gas. At even higher temperatures, gas molecules break apart into atoms, and eventually the electrons orbiting the atomic nuclei are spun off. This phenomenon is called disassociation. When a gas has roughly equivalent densities of positively and negatively charged particles formed in this way, maintaining electrical neutrality, it is called a plasma. Some plasmas existing in nature are the sun, the aurora and lightning. Manmade plasmas are widely used in illumination (fluorescent and neon lighting) and fabrication (welding and etching).

Gas-plasma technology is one of the methods used to create flat-panel TVs. Besides enabling thin, lightweight TVs that can be hung on the wall, plasma offers other advantages. The display consists of two transparent glass panels with a thin layer of pixels sandwiched in between (think of this layer as containing around one million tiny fluorescent bulbs — the pixels). Each pixel is composed of three gas-filled cells or sub-pixels (one each for red, green and blue). A grid of tiny electrodes applies an electric current to the individual cells, causing the gas to ionize. This ionized gas (plasma) emits high-frequency UV rays which stimulate the cells' phosphors, causing them to glow, which creates the TV image.

A hot, electrically neutral gas of ions and free electrons.

Plasma is often considered the fourth state of matter (besides solid, liquid, and gas). Plasma consists of a gas heated to sufficiently high temperatures (in other words, with so much energy) that the atoms ionize (lose electrons). The properties of the gas are controlled by electromagnetic forces among constituent ions and electrons, which results in a different type of behavior. Most of the matter in the Universe is in the plasma state. Lightning and fluorescent lights are plasma. You can get plasma spheres in novelty shops. They are known as lightning balls. The lightning will follow your finger around the globe. SOHO observes an elongated "eruptive prominence," a mass of relatively cool plasma, into space.

Currently the leading technology behind large flat-screen televisions. Here, an electrical current is passed through neon/xenon gas, causing it to react, creating the desired 'pixel'.

An ionized gas composed of positive and negative charges (and possibly neutral atoms and molecules) of almost equal charge density. At least one kind of charge is mobile. The term was coined by Langmuir and Tonks (1929) "to designate that portion of an arc-type discharge in which the densities of ions and electrons are high but substantially equal." A more quantitative definition can be given in terms of the Debye shielding distance, the distance over which the density of negative charges can be appreciably different from that of positive charges: A plasma is an ionized gas for which the Debye shielding distance is small compared with a characteristic length (Spitzer 1962). According to this definition the ionosphere is a plasma, and so is a slab of aluminum, but in atmospheric usage it is limited to an ionized gas. Langmuir, I., and L. Tonks, 1929: Phys. Rev., 33, p. 196. Spitzer, L., 1962: Physics of Fully Ionized Gases, 2d ed., p. 22.

In the television industry, short for gas-plasma display technology, one of the leading methods used to build flat panel televisions. The display creates images through the application of an electronic current to the plasma-filled cells in the screen, causing them to ionize, emitting ultraviolet (UV) rays that stimulate the phospor in the cells, and causing them to glow. Plasma televisions are lauded for thier impressive picture quality, high resolutions, and compact footprint.

In physics and chemistry, a plasma is typically an ionized gas, and is usually considered to be a distinct state of matter in contrast to gases because of its unique properties. "Ionized" means that at least one electron has been dissociated from, or added to, a proportion of the atoms or molecules. The free electric charges make the plasma electrically conductive so that it responds strongly to electromagnetic fields.
