What type of display should I buy?

Plasma displays use a mixture of noble gases inside two panels of glass. The gas is electrically turned into a plasma which emits ultraviolet and thus visible light.

 

Liquid crystal dispplays are a unique form of matter, both a solid and a liquid, that reacts to energy. These liquid crystals are filled within pixel sized compartments.

 

Organic light-emitting diode display (OLED) consists of a series of extremely thin films of organic molecules or polymers that are sandwiched between two conductors.

 

Light-emitting diode displays differ from typical incandescent bulbs in that they involve a direct electrical current to a semiconductor diode, which only allows electricity to flow in one direction.

 

Electroluminescent displays - Electroluminescence is a physical process involving, as its name makes clear, an electrical current and visible light.

 

Surface-conduction electron-emitter displays - In a nutshell nanoscopic electron emitters charge color phospors and that produces the picture you see.

 

Field emission displays use technology that takes the original cathode ray tube design to the next level.
