How to protect your phone screen from burning in

This can be particularly frustrating for users who have invested significant money in their devices.

What is a smartphone screen burning in?

This results in a ghostly or shadowy image that remains on the screen even after the image has changed.

This is because the pixels that make up the image are constantly illuminated while the rest are not.

Over time, this leads to permanent discoloration of the pixels that make up the static image.

Screen burn-in can occur on any screen, including OLED, and AMOLED displays.

However, it is more commonly seen on OLED and AMOLED displays due to the way they are designed.

Regarding LCD displays on phones, unlike OLEDs, they have a different working principle.

This prevents static images from being displayed on the screen for an extended period.

This can help slow down the degradation of pixels and minimize the risk of burn-in.

Avoid using your phone in direct sunlight or environments with high temperatures.

This can help prevent permanent discoloration of the pixels that make up a static image.
