HDTV vs. Plasma — What's the Difference?

A television system that has more than the usual number of lines per frame so its pictures show more detail

The clear, yellowish fluid portion of blood, lymph, or intramuscular fluid in which cells are suspended. It differs from serum in that it contains fibrin and other soluble clotting elements.

Blood plasma, especially when sterilized and depleted of cells for transfusion.

Protoplasm or cytoplasm.

The fluid portion of milk from which the curd has been separated by coagulation; whey.

(Physics) An electrically neutral, highly ionized phase of matter composed of ions, electrons, and neutral particles. It is distinct from solids, liquids, and gases.

Of or relating to a flat-panel display used in televisions, made up of an array of tiny cells each containing a gaseous mixture of xenon and neon that is changed into a plasma state to illuminate a phosphor coating on the inside of the cell.

(physics) A state of matter consisting of partially ionized gas and electrons.

(hematology) A clear component of blood or lymph containing fibrin.

(hematology) Blood plasma, free of suspended cells, used in transfusions.

(mineralogy) A variety of green quartz, used in ancient times for making engraved ornaments.

A mixture of starch and glycerin, used as a substitute for ointments.

A visual effect in which cycles of changing colours are warped in various ways to give the illusion of liquid organic movement.

A variety of quartz, of a color between grass green and leek green, which is found associated with common chalcedony. It was much esteemed by the ancients for making engraved ornaments.

The viscous material of an animal or vegetable cell, out of which the various tissues are formed by a process of differentiation; protoplasm.

Unorganized material; elementary matter.

A mixture of starch and glycerin, used as a substitute for ointments.

Same as blood plasma.

A state of matter in which charged particles such as electrons and atomi nuclei have sufficiently high energy to move freely, rather than be bound in atoms as in ordinary matter; it has some of the properties of a gas, but is a conductor of electricity.

Colorless watery fluid of blood and lymph containing no cells and in which erythrocytes and leukocytes and platelets are suspended

A green slightly translucent variety of chalcedony used as a gemstone

(physical chemistry) a fourth state of matter distinct from solid or liquid or gas and present in stars and fusion reactors; a gas becomes a plasma when it is heated until the atoms lose all their electrons, leaving a highly electrified collection of nuclei and free electrons;
