IST Plasma-shells™ vs Conventional Plasma Displays

IST Plasma-shells™ eliminate many of the manufacturing steps needed in conventional plasma manufacturing:
  • Gas processing
  • Barrier rib formation
  • Thin film process
  • Clean room requirements
IST Plasma-shells™ offer greater flexibility in processing parameters than conventional plasma display manufacturing:
  • Processing steps can be batch or continuous
  • Low capital equipment costs
  • Many choices of substrate materials
  • Roll-to-Roll equipment eliminates traditional size constraints
  • "Green" Process
IST Plasma-shells™ have significant commercial advantages:
  • Adaptive design can offer tiles solutions of any size, with any pixel shape, on many substrate choices
  • Cost of displays are an order of magnitude less than conventional plasma display panels
  • Cost increases for large sizes is linear
  • Plasma-shells offer up to 80% reduction in weight over conventional plasma displays
  • Displays are ultra rugged including shock, vibration, temperature, and chemical hazards
  • Displays may be "rolled" for transporting
  • Displays will not crack in high altitude
  • No physical size limit for displays
IST Plasma-shells™ offer substantial viewing advantages over conventional plasma displays:
  • Plasma-shells™ are discreet and have low thermal mass - allows for high speed addressing with no blooming
  • Rich, accurate life-like colors
  • Viewing angle is nearly 180 degrees
  • Excellent motion handling
