Prevention of Afterimage Burn-in

License

What is afterimage burn-in?

Afterimage burn-in should not occur when the panel is operating normally. Normal operation refers to a continuously changing video pattern. If the panel displays a fixed pattern for an extended period of time a slight voltage difference may occur between the electrodes in pixels that control the liquid crystals.

Such a voltage difference between electrodes increases with time and makes the liquid crystals thinner. When this occurs, a previous image can remain on the screen when the pattern changes.

This information is a guide to prevent afterimage burn-in. Viewing a fixed screen for an extended period of time may cause afterimage burn-in. This problem is not included in warranty.
