BUILD-IN TOUCH TERMINAL
13 Display „Burn-In“ Effect
The “Burn-In” effect describes a pattern burned into the display after displaying the same
contents over a longer period of time (e.g. a single screen).
This effect is also described mostly as “image sticking”, “memory effect/sticking” or “ghost
image”.
Here, a distinction is made between a temporary and permanent effect, while the
temporary effect is eliminated by switching off the screen for a longer period of time or by
displaying dynamic content, serious cases of burn-in can lead to permanent damage to the
display.
This effect can have the following causes:
l
Operation without a screen saver
l
The same contents displayed over a longer time period (e.g. a single screen)
l
Operation at high environmental temperatures
l
Operation above specifications
The effect can be avoided/reduced by the following actions:
l
Using a screen saver
l
Deactivating the display when not in use (e.g. screen display black)
l
Continuously changing screen content (e.g. video)
INFORMATION
Deactivating the display backlighting only does not prevent Burn-In!
