Display - Flat Panel Roundup
By Jeff Sauer
When it comes to monitors, it's no news flash that flat and thin are cool. Flat and thin have been tauntingly tempting since the first plasma monitors appeared with rich, sharp colors and equally opulent prices, and since the first flat panel LCDs bumped CRTs off elitist desktops. It's been a slow evolution to shed the prohibitive early pricing and to fulfill market expectations. That evolution, however, is now clearly well on its way.
Over just the last year or two, flat panels have matured technologically and reached a critical mass to support much more aggressive pricing. In turn, those more affordable prices have greatly expanded the installed base of flat panels in screening rooms, boardrooms, on-air studios, and editing desktops. And new affordability and availability has also helped ignite the markets for public signage in cinemas and shopping malls and, of course, consumer televisions.
Indeed, the emergence of a vibrant consumer market is the biggest change in flat panels, and the effect on the pro A/V market is mixed. According to Pacific Media Associates, it's been a little less than two years since consumers started buying more “large” (24in. and above) flat panels than professional markets. Today, the consumer market accounts for at least 75 percent of flat panel business. While increased consumer demand has ultimately lowered pro A/V prices, it has also reversed the business production strategies of manufacturers. Just a year or two ago, most manufacturers would focus R&D and industrial design primarily on the pro A/V market, developing and releasing industrial models before consumer models. Today the opposite is true.
Given the potentially enormous volumes, consumer models with built-in TV tuners, minimal connectivity, and trendy industrial design are now built and released before professional models with component inputs, expansion slots for networking, and other industrial features. For example, Sharp should be ready to ship its consumer version of the highly anticipated 45in. LCD around the time you read this, but it likely won't have the industrial version until next year. The same is true of Samsung's 46in. LCD panel.
A lot of consumer flat panel success has come from LCD TV products, which hints at a technology war anticipated for a couple of years now. Plasma makers have already responded to the increased competition by lowering prices. The expected battle between the competing flat panel technologies, however, isn't as direct as one might think.

Plasma displays function differently than any other TV technology in that they actually produce light independently at each pixel on the screen, as opposed to projecting a separate light source through or off of other elements to conjure a picture. A plasma "screen" is actually a dense network of individual cells, three for each pixel of the display (coated with red, green and blue phosphors, respectively). Each cell is impregnated with a rare-gas mixture and connected to an individual electrode. When the electrode for a given cell is charged with an electrical voltage, the gas is converted to a plasma state and emits a burst of ultraviolet light; this in turn causes the phosphors to react and produce bright visible light at the pixel level. By varying the voltage and intensity of the electrical charge, the proper combination of red, green and blue light is produced in each pixel to combine into a bright, colorful composite image. Plasma TVs are available in sizes from about 40" up to 70"+, but be prepared for sticker shock as your size desires increase.
Strengths
Obviously, plasma TVs are desirable for their sleek form factor — about 4" deep and wall-mountable, they're undeniably sexy. Furthermore, plasma produces a very bright image that can be viewed in a well-lit room, with superb color accuracy and saturation. It's a matter of opinion, but many videophiles regard plasma's color vibrancy as beyond compare among current technologies. Because the light is produced at the screen rather than projected onto it, focus is consistent and reliable across the entire screen surface, and plasma screens can be viewed from angles as severe as 160 degrees off-axis without detrimental effect. And plasma's accurate pixel structure produces a picture that is geometrically perfect from edge to edge and corner to corner, with uniform light output and a crisp, lifelike image.
Considerations
Due to the direct way it produces light, plasma can be especially susceptible to burn-in from static images such as stock-tickers and video-game gauges; however, newer displays have begun to incorporate "pixel-orbiting" technologies that shift images, almost imperceptibly, to limit the occurrence of burn-in. Additionally, although known for their high contrast (relative to LCD) and spectacular color saturation, plasma displays have historically had difficulty reproducing pure blacks. Recent enhancements have largely eliminated this problem, but sometimes at the expense of fine detail in dimly-lit areas of the picture.
The bottom line
Overall, plasma has maintained a reputation as the no-compromise high-tech TV display technology. While that's not entirely accurate, there's no question that a plasma TV on your living room wall will deliver amazing video performance — and, quite likely, a parade of drooling friends through your door as well.

平板显示大盘点
杰夫•绍尔
说到显示器，历来以平薄为酷，自从色彩炫丽、价格高昂的等离子显示器面世以来，自从平板LCD取代CRT成为高端桌面显示新宠以来，开发又平又薄的显示器就一直是一个既充满魅力，又扑朔迷离的目标。但是，如果说以前的降价和市场化步伐是一个漫长的过程，如今这一趋势却日渐明朗起来。
在过去一两年里，平板显示器在技术上迅速成熟，并达到竞争性定价所需的量产规模。同时，更能让人接受的价格又极大地拓展了平板显示器在各行各业的应用，进而又促进影院和购物中心等公共显示市场迅猛发展，当然，其中还有消费电视市场。
的确，出现一个充满活力的消费市场，这是平板显示器产业发生的最大变化，对专业AV市场的影响也是多方面的。根据Pacific Media Associates的调查，不到两年之前，消费者购买的大尺寸平板显示器（24英寸以上）就已经超过专业市场，如今消费市场已占到平板显示器业务的75%。消费需求的增长最终拉低了专业产品的价格，同时改变了生产商的业务战略。一两年之前，大多数厂商会将研发和设计的重点放在专业市场，优先研制发布工业型号，而不是消费型号，如今情况恰好相反。
由于销售潜力巨大，各厂商纷纷生产发布了带电视调谐器、简单联网功能和时髦外观设计的消费型号，而相应专业型号的发布往往滞后，这些型号通常配备充足的输入接口、网络扩展槽和其他许多专业功能。例如，当您读到这篇文章的时候，夏普公司期待已久的消费版45英寸LCD可能已准备出货，但相应的工业版可能要到明年才能推出。三星的46英寸LCD平板显示器也是如此。
许多消费型平板显示器的成功来自液晶电视，这预示可能会在几年之内爆发一场技术战。等离子显示器厂商已经开始降价，以应对日益激烈的竞争。但是预想中的这场平板显示技术竞争并不是人们想象的那样针锋相对。

电视技术--等离子
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmcat55300050016&type=category
等离子显示器同其他电视技术的区别在于，屏幕上的每个像素都能独立发光，而不是将单独配备的光源投射到其他器件上形成图像。等离子屏幕实际上就是有众多单元织成的一张密集的网，每个像素有三个这样的单元（分别涂以红绿蓝色荧光粉）。每个单元内填充以混合惰性气体，并同一个电极相连。当某个单元的电极被加上电压时，气体就转化为等离子状态，发出一束紫外光，激励荧光粉在像素上产生明亮的可见光。改变电极电压和强度，每个像素就会产生相应组合的红绿蓝光，形成明亮的彩色复合图像。等离子电视的尺寸从40英寸到70英寸以上不等，尺寸越大，价格越是高得惊人。
优势
显然，等离子电视的迷人之处在于其优雅的造型，厚约4英寸，可以壁挂安装，性感魅力无懈可击。而且等离子电视即使在灯光通明的室内也能产生色彩精确饱和的炫丽图像。尽管有不同的观点，但许多视频发烧友认为等离子电视的色彩感染力是目前其他技术无法比拟的。由于光由屏幕直接产生，而不是投射到屏幕上，在整个屏幕表面上聚焦均匀稳定，可视角度可达160度。由于等离子精确的像素结构，产生的图像边角圆滑，亮度均匀，锐利清晰，栩栩如生。
考虑因素
由于是直接发光，等离子屏易受静态图像（如股票报价和视频游戏）灼烧形成“烧印”，但更新的产品已经开始运用“像素旋转”技术来变换图像，降低烧印发生几率，而且这一变换过程肉眼几乎察觉不到。另外，尽管相对于LCD等离子屏的对比度更高，色彩极其饱和，但一直在黑色还原的纯度上难有上佳表现。近来经过技术改进，基本解决了这个问题，但有时也会在图形暗处的细节表现方面打折扣。
结论
总之，等离子历来被誉为不折不扣的高科技电视显示技术，这样说不完全准确，但在您的居室中放上一台等离子电视无疑会带给您动人心魄的视频享受，引来一波又一波垂涎三尺的朋友称奇喝彩。
