Plasma technology consists hundreds of thousands gascapsules filled with natural gases like xenon and neon. These cells are coated with phosphor and are pretty locked in a glass plate provided with electrodes. Electrical impulses through these cells to light and produce light. This light illuminates the red, green and blue phosphors, and thus produces a certain color.

The LCD technology uses liquid crystals between two layers of glass down. When the power is turned on for the crystals a certain degree of light, the light comes from a lamp behind the screen. The correct color of each crystal is achieved by certain colors in the spectrum of white light blocking.

Burn
Plasma TV, the image retention is still a delicate topic. Is meant to burn: the sluggishness of some residual images when images dwell, such as the logo of the sender or the scoreboards at sporting events. Current plasma televisions are now much better with the burn as this will disappear after a few hours if there are other images on the screen. Besides, each monitor including LCD so, the risk of burning.

Several plasma televisions now have built-in features that greatly extend the life and burn it to the past ways. One of these techniques is the pixel shift technique where the image shifts a few pixels so that a logo is not always the same image pixels, which greatly reduces the chance of burn.

Life
There used to be a lot written and talked about the limited lifespan of plasma TVs. But times change and the new plasma screens keep it – just like in current LCD TVs – from 60,000 hours before they lose half their brightness – which is the default value for the life of a screen measuring. That means 23 years 60,000 hours watching TV at a ratio of 7 hours a day, every day. A loss of clarity is also inherent in any display, including LCD screens. 60000 hours which indicates the lifetime of the panel, and not the electronics that is built around it. It would have also had this strong electronics to sing 23 years.
