Kagan's Theory of Plasma Displays
Kagan's Theory of Plasma Displays explains how plasma screens produce images by using small cells filled with gases that emit light when electrically energized. When a voltage is applied, these gases (like neon or xenon) turn into plasma and release ultraviolet light, which then excites phosphor coatings inside the cell. The phosphors glow with specific colors, creating the pixels we see as images. This process allows plasma displays to produce vibrant, high-contrast pictures with wide viewing angles. Essentially, Kagan’s theory describes how electrical signals are transformed into visual images through controlled gas discharges within tiny cells.
