We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Plasma display",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Electronicstalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Power modules to target appliance market from
Semikron, which we summarised at the time by saying "Alliance to combine expertise to offer power modules based on Semikron's MiniSKiiP IGBT platform".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Wire-board connectors meet display needs from
Molex UK: "The 1mm pitch Pico-Clasp wire-to-board connector system is compact, and its small circuit size makes it suitable for any compact FPD system".
In August 2007, we covered the news from Powerlase
concerning its Starlase AO8
- take a look at Top power lasers to ramp up plasma production
which says: "The introduction of the Powerlase laser systems has significantly altered flat-panel production methods".
Take a look also at the news release from Mouser Electronics, Mouser's expertise complements Avago's aggression,
as well as Power modules ease plasma panel design from Fairchild Semiconductor,
and MOSFETs cut figure of merit for display switching from Fairchild Semiconductor.
