  8. History of the PDP Military Roots • 1982 – Plasmascope Display to control ground-launched missiles • Very large displays • Hardened to withstand nuclear attacks • Fewer ElectroMagnetic Interference/Compatibility (EMI) problems Photonics Systems and Electro Plasma Corporation • Founded by Donald Wedding of Univ. of Illinois in 1978 • Its PDPs used for over one hundred military applications • Other customers included Rockwell, Raytheon, General Dynamics and Boeing http://www.theclockmag.com/september/sept_oct_plasma_battles.htm

  9. History of the PDP • 1980s – Only monochrome products were marketed • 1993 – First high color plasma display marketed by Fujitsu http://whatis.techtarget.com/definition/0,,sid9_gci214631,00.htmlhttp://www.physics.northwestern.edu/classes/2003Spring/Phyx335/12

  10. Disadvantages of other selections CRTs • Require vacuum and fixed distance between gun and screen resulting in curved screens • Affected by earth’s magnetic field • Larger screen means deeper screen • Phosphor burns LCDs • Require backlight • Poor visibility from angles • Fragile Projection • Relies on optics and geometry, easily distorted • Larger means dimmer • Expensive parts • Requires light http://www.drwedding.com/ppt/flex.ppt

  11. AC PDP Light Emissions • Color images emitted based on combination of red, green, and blue • Vacuum ultraviolet stimulates RGB phosphors, creating visible light • Orange light is also created by neon discharge during Ne-Xe plasma reaction • Color purity is deteriorated by orange light H.

  13. Inside the AC PDP pixel • Sustain Discharge area • Excited Atoms radiate ultraviolet light • Visible light is emitted through the absorption of ultraviolet light in the phosphors Chen, Chern-Lin, and Shin-Tai Lo.
