| Abstract: | Purpose Nowadays, there is one television device for every four human beings, making television one of the most popular pieces of
electrical and electronic equipment in our society, with the so-called flat-screen technologies gaining more and more market
share. For one such technology, the plasma display panel (PDP), no complete life cycle assessment (LCA) studies have existed
thus far, and therefore, the question as to their environmental performance, especially as compared with LCD technology, is
still open. This paper describes a detailed LCA study of a PDP television, including a first comparison of it with the two
competing technologies, the cathode ray tube and the liquid crystal display technologies. |
