Plasma televisions
Use a tiny cell for each pixel. Each cell contains a low pressure gas and as a voltage is applied, it will pass a current that in turn will cause a phosphor to glow. With a combination of red, green and blue phosphors, all visible colors can be created. Together, the cells create a full image.
Plasma televisions have been criticized for the possibility of image burn, where static images can imprint themselves on the screen and show up as faint shadows on the screen. Later plasma screens have largely overcome the problem. The technology is noted for high contrast and accurate colors but it no longer a popular display type.
LCD televisions
LCD televisions use liquid crystal shutters to pass white light through the crystal layer. By adding red, green and blue color filters, a full range of colors can be displayed. The white light has traditionally been from cold cathode fluorescent tubes although there is a move towards LED as a the light source.
Older LCD televisions were noted for poor viewing angles and for poor contrast. As the technology has developed, viewing angles are much wider and color and contrast performance is on a par with plasma screens.
LED lit LCD televisions
Using the same display technology as conventional LCD televisions, LED back lighting offers cooler running and more efficient power usage compared to CCFL tubes. The display technology is the same as other LCD televisions.
True LED or OLED televisions
Being launched during 2012 and 21013 are LED televisions that use many red, green and blue LEDs to directly generate a full color image. Because there is no shutter system, each LED is adjusted to make up every pixel of the image. The system is more efficient than LCD as the illumination is not turned on permanently as is the case with LCD television.
OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) televisions may have a limited life span although OLED technology is improving continually in this respect. The display has the potential to offer much higher contrast ratios than LCD and is already being demonstrated in models that are as thin as 6mm or 1/4" deep. The simplicity of construction will make this the standard display technology in the coming years.
The difference between a plasma and widescreen lcd tv is that a plasma has less of a viewing range. They both have great video quality.
A JVC plasma is a brand of television and a plasma television does not use liquid crystal displays (which is and LCD television). Plasma televisions are thinner and provide crisper images.
LCD are little lights for each and every pixel, while plasma has two pieces of glass with plasma between the two.
Viewing angles for a plasma will not have as many problems as viewing angles for LCD's, Screen Refresh Rates / Pixel response time for plasma screens are faster, and plasma tvs tend to be heavier.

LCD is lighter than Plasma but plasma has a more true black color. Besides price you won't likely notice much difference. Earlier lcd models had trouble showing a true black, but the technology has improved considerably. There still is some difference, but it really comes down to weight and price now.
They dpon't make LED screens yet just LCD and plasma screens.
The difference between the two TVs is the high definition resolutions. There are many different companies that make both models.
Plasma panels give off image by using certain gases inside special cells and LCD panels give off image by modulating liquid crystals
Plasma typically has deeper black levels and handles fast motion better. LCD uses less power, runs cooler and is better in rooms with more ambient lighting.
A plasma television has a higher picture quality over a larger sized screen, and better colour definition, especially deeper blacks. There is also less lag on moving images, and it can be viewed from wider angles.
Plasma TVs use highly heated gases for the picture. LCD use liquid crystal displays. That's the scientific difference. As for the difference you will see, that's up to your eye and your opinion.
