Analyzing Physical Behavior of Phosphor Pixels in Plasma TVs

应用文章

Introduction

The last decade has been marked by rapid developments in television technology aimed at improving both audio and visual quality. As a result, today we see larger screen sizes paired with reduced overall set dimensions and weight, lower power consumption, and integrated and enhanced audio effects.

These advancements have been made possible largely through the efforts of researchers, and new breakthroughs will emerge as research efforts continue. One group to carry on these activities is a team of researchers at a well-known university in Great China. This team is working to better characterize and understand the behavior of phosphor pixels used to construct plasma televisions.

This application note provides a brief look at how a plasma screen operates and explains how the university’s research into the physical behavior of phosphor pixels has been facilitated using the Keysight Technologies, Inc. U3606A multimeter|DC power supply.
