LCD: The screen is composed of crystals which work as if they were liquid and hence the name LIQUID-CRYSTAL

PLASMA: The screen consists of lotsa small chambers in which 'noble' gases are put (e.g. argon, xenon etc). These noble gases are 'exited' by using electric discharge.

that was a "simple" explanantion. For detailed help head up to
