Burn-in of the screen

With screen electronic it bases to you on phosphorus (included those to cathode rays and the plasma), the visualization extended in the time of a bar of menu or other graphical elements it can create images ghost of these objects. This because of the fact that the members to phosphorus who emit the light forgiveness their brightness with the use. Like result, when some areas of the screen come used more than frequent than others, in the time the areas that have lost brightness become visible to eye knot, creating the effect called burn-in. While the ghost image is the more obvious effect, a more common result is that the quality of the image will continuously decrease gradually and while the brightness variations are developed, creating an effect "mud" in the visualized image.

The screen to the plasma exhibits also an other type of alteration of the image, which it comes to times confused with the damage give burn-in. In this way, when a group of pixel comes ignited to high brightness (visualizing the white man, as an example) for along period of time, it loads it is constructed in the structure of the pixel and becomes visible a ghost image. However, to difference of burn-in, this it loads constructed is transitory and autocorregge when the screen is extinguished sufficiently for a period along, or after to have visualized accidental television images.
