Frequency and voltage of plasma TV screens?

[Geoff C]

Hi

I am embarking on a project to make some plasmas of similar size to TV
pixels for a non-display purpose. I wonder if anyone knows off the top of
their head the voltage and frequency of the HV supply to the array of a
typical plasma screen? I mean the actual plasma HV to the grid wires.

I will only require a few dozen cells at the most and will be addressing
each cell (c/w pixel) randomly.

putting
plasma +screen +volts -buy
into google, told me it was only about 300 Volts



Geoff I am not getting at you, I hope you don't take this the wrong way,
but,
I have to ask, before anyone asks a question on any newsgroup do you try and
help yourself first?

Well yes, I thought someone would suggest google and a low voltage does
appear to be prevalent with some screens, probably the voltage is
proportional to pixel size and/or address line isolation distance. Anyway,
I have found my answer from other means and I know I need about 25kV for my
application. I was wondering if any TV's etc. used topologies which require
such high voltages.
