Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-004198

A plasma display panel, a type of flat panel display that uses small cells containing noble gases. An electrical voltage ionizes the gas, creating plasma that emits ultraviolet light, which then excites phosphors to produce visible light. PDPs were once common for large-screen televisions but have largely been replaced by LCD and OLED technologies.
