BASF Podcast: The Chemical Reporter - How Does a Plasma Monitor Work?
LUDWIGSHAFEN, Germany, December 10 /PRNewswire/ -- In simple terms, behind the glass on the front of a plasma screen you'll find a whole lot of tiny cells that are filled with one of the 'noble' gases, generally neon or xenon. Each of these cells represents a single point - a pixel. If a voltage is applied to the gas, then it converts into what is known as a plasma - and the pixel begins to glow. In entertaining episodes our Chemical Reporter answers questions of our Podcast listeners on Chemistry in our everyday life.
