In only 10 years, the plasma television grew from its start into an entertainment phenomenon it is today. From the development of a monochrome screen using plasma technology in 1964 at the University if Illinois, the first full color plasma television monitor was not introduced until 1992. While the use of a flat panel display was interesting to many in the industry, the use of LCD displays to achieve the same benefit as well as the low cost of the semiconductors they used put the development of plasma units on the back burner for several years.
Following the first 21-inch plasma television monitor in 1992, the first 42-inch color monitor was introduced by Fujitsu in 1997. The widescreen display boasted a resolution of 852-pixels by 480-pixels with a 13:9 aspect ratio, matching the image size of those seen in commercial movie theaters. Since that time many manufacturers tinkered with the development of the plasma television, with the most recent big screen being introduced in early 2008, a 150-inch plasma set that stands six-feet high and 11-feet wide.
