This will cause a burn-in which is a common problem with all types of display technologies. Blank the screen after a while or dim it very low by adjusting the contrast. Better still; implement a screen saver feature. • Moisture and water can damage the display. Moisture on the surface of a powered display will cause the electrodes to corrode.
