Best Answer

A plasma panel is a layered device. It is comprised of millions of cells each lined with a red, blue or green phosphor, much like a CRT is coated with the same color phosphor dots. Each cell is filled with a gas and wired to a computer chip that tells it when it needs to light. When the gas is electrified it causes a plasma gas discharge that emits ultraviolet light. That in turn causes the phosphor to glow its color. The complete pattern is scanned in lines from top to bottom in a 60th of a second. (Therefore twice in a 30th of a second which is the time it takes for your eye to comprehend and register any image).
