The AMOLED screen suffers from screen burn-in during long-term use.

AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) screens are a popular screen technology that uses organic light-emitting materials. Although the AMOLED screen has an excellent display effect, there is a burn-in phenomenon during long-term use. Screen burn-in is when the content displayed on the screen has been displayed for a long time, resulting in an afterimage, causing the area to become dark or distorted.


 

The reason AMOLED screens suffer from burn-in is due to how it works. In an AMOLED screen, each pixel is composed of an organic light-emitting material that produces light when an electric current passes through it. However, if a certain pixel is in a high-brightness state for a long time, it will cause fatigue of organic materials and even burn out.

There are two main types of AMOLED screen burn-in: temporary burn-in and permanent burn-in. Temporary screen burn-in means that after the pixel material is exposed to high brightness, it will gradually recover within a short period of time after stopping displaying the content in this area. The permanent burn-in means that the pixel material cannot be recovered after being damaged, and the adverse effects will always exist.

How to avoid AMOLED screen burn-in phenomenon?

 First of all, you can take advantage of the automatic brightness function, which automatically adjusts the screen brightness according to the ambient light to prevent the pixels from being in a high brightness state for a long time. Second, you can use dark mode or a rotating wallpaper to avoid certain areas showing the same content for a long time. Finally, applications or games that display high brightness and graphics borders for extended periods of time can also be minimized.

To sum up, AMOLED screens have screen burn-in phenomenon during long-term use, and relevant measures can be taken to reduce the risk of screen burn-in.
