Protecting the TFT display from the memory effect
The TFT display of the DLoG MTC 6 has to be protected from the burning in of a
motionless image. An image that has remained motionless for too long can cause
irreversible damage to the display. With TFT displays there no cathode rays burning in
an afterimage as in old TV sets or monitors, but TFT displays still have a “memory
effect”. This is because with a still image the liquid crystal molecules align themselves in
a certain way and become inert if they are not moved. Like burning in the effect is
irreversible, but can be avoided by regularly turning off the display or by using a
screensaver with changing content.
Define in the
power management center
of the utilized operating system that the
displays of the DLoG MTC 6 should be turned off when no user input occurs.
A motionless image can stay on the display for a maximum of 12 hours. After more than
12 hours there is the risk of the memory effect.
5.4.
Removing the protective film from the display
The front display of the DLoG MTC 6 is protected during transport by a transparent film.
This film should remain on the front display during assembly to avoid damage to the front
display surface.
Only remove the film once all of the assembly work has been completed.
