| With a 100-year head start over competing screen technologies, the CRT is still a formidable technology. It's based on universally understood principles and employs commonly available materials. The result is cheap-to-make monitors capable of excellent performance, producing stable images in true co... |

| Plasma Display Panels (PDPs) are like CRTs in that they are emissive and use phosphor, and like LCDs in their use of an X and Y grid of electrodes separated by an MgO dielectric layer and surrounded by a mixture of inert gases - such as argon, neon or xenon - to address individual picture elements. |

Topic: Panel Displays (Flat) |
| Nearly everyone is familiar with LEDs (light-emitting diodes) from their use as indicator lights and numeric displays on consumer electronic devices. The basic LED is a solid-state device that contains a chemical compound that gives off light when an electric current passes through it. It consists o... |

Topic: Panel Displays (Flat) |
| Many electronic appliances are at the threshold of a revolution that began with the discovery of polymeric conductors in the 1970s. Polymeric materials, which have historically been classified exclusively as electrical insulators, are now finding varied applications as both conductors and semiconduc... |

| Polymers are chemical substances that consist of large molecules that are, themselves, made from many smaller and simpler molecules: proteins and DNA are examples of naturally occurring polymers; many others, such as nylon, are artificially created. Because of their flexibility and strength, polymer... |

Topic: Panel Displays (Flat) |
| LCDs follow a different set of rules than CRT displays offering advantages in terms of bulk, power consumption and flicker, as well as "perfect" geometry. They have the disadvantage of a much higher price, a poorer viewing angle and less accurate colour performance. |
