lcd panel damage fade quotation

LCDs used in outdoor situations have many concerns to deal with in addition to any that they might normally encounter during indoor use. Initially some concerns are weather related such as moisture in the air or extreme temperatures. Another concern that is often not understood or just not known about at all is sunlight damage.

Liquid crystal displays use organic components that are susceptible to UV (<400 nm) and IR (>750 nm). These bandwidths of radiation have an observable impact on the organic components in LCDs. Extended exposure has been known to cause a color shift and a washed out look to images displayed with the LCD.

In any case it is important to protect your display from the elements, especially if it is going to be exposed to harsh environments not intended by the manufacturer. One way to do this would be to utilize a Hot Mirror with a UV blocker. This will significantly reduce the amount of IR radiation between 750 nm and 1200 nm, as well as the UV radiation below 400 nm. If the LCD is going to be used outdoors for extended periods then an extended hot mirror may be necessary, which extends the bandwidth protection out to 1600 nm and will help reduce some of the longer wavelength IR damage.

Another concern with liquid crystal displays are their susceptibility to overheating due to excess IR radiation. The LCD is intended to operate within a certain range of temperatures according to the manufacturer’s instructions and outdoor use can lead to higher than normal temperatures. The display being exposed to excessive heat can cause the crystal to become isotropic and fail to perform properly. A hot mirror can help alleviate these concerns as well by reducing the amount of infrared radiation that heats the display.

If the image starts OK and then slowly fades to white, it"s usually not an issue with the LCD itself but rather the connection between the LCD and the mobo or even a graphic driver issue, although in my experience it"s the former.

Have you disassembled the laptop and tried reseating the LCD video cable at both ends? The end on the LCD is usually taped down but the end on the mobo might have become loose or damaged. The cable itself can also have damage internally which is usually evidenced by the screen flickering/coming back to life if you move the screen on its hinges etc.

The impurities in the water causes corrosion and provides circuit paths for the electricity which were not in the phone"s operating design and could damage the components.

If this process seems too daunting, take your phone to a reputable, professional phone repair service experienced in water damage repair and ask for a quote for a repair. If you decide to do this, do it sooner than later.

Ever had your TV showing nothing but a black screen even if the audio was working? Unfortunately, that’s a common issue with low/middle-end LCD/LED TVs these days… Even more frustrating, this issue often comes from a rather tiny and cheap component that can be easily replaced. Most common issues are:

That implies disassembling the TV to access the backlight which is between the LCD screen in the front and the boards in the rear. In my case, with a Samsung F5000, I had to process as follows:

First we have to remove the back housing to reveal the boards (from left to right: main board, T-CON, power supply) and disconnect the LCD panel from the T-CON board.

Note: Older TVs have neon tubes for backlight, which is thicker and less exposed to this kind of failure. LED backlight is the most common thing these days, but do not mistake an LED TV with an OLED TV. The first one is a classic LCD panel with a LED backlight, whereas the second is an OLED panel that doesn’t need any backlight as it is integrated in each pixels (making the spare parts much more expensive by the way).

One LED like those ones typically needs between 2.5-3.6v input voltage to light up. By looking up this model online, I found out that the ones used on those strips need 3.6v; so as there are 9 LEDs per strip: 3.6 x 9 = 32.4v input voltage required to light a single strip. That’s the maximum voltage we do NOT want to exceed, otherwise LEDs could be damaged during testing.

You may experience a stuck pixel on a new or used LCD screen. If your monitor’s warranty has expired, or the manufacturer won’t replace the monitor because it considers one or two stuck pixels as acceptable, there are a few things that you can do.

This is obviously the safest method, but it’s not always effective. If you recently discovered a stuck pixel, you can try to turn off the monitor and unplug it for a day or two. When the damage is caused by overuse, this could help.

Any technique that implies applying pressure to fix a stuck pixel can potentially make more damage than good. Here you’ll find some precautions you should take to minimize these chances.

To understand the possible pixel problems that you can face – and whether or not you can fix them – you need to know that an LCD screen is made by pixels. Three sub-pixels form each pixel – one is red, one is green, and one is blue (RGB).

LCD stands for liquid crystal display. These monitors are made with multiple layers. In the far back, they have the light source that illuminates the screen with white even light.

Anyway, all this explanation is to tell you that stuck or dead pixels often happen because there is a broken transistor that fails to supply voltage to a certain pixel or sub-pixel. Keep in mind that there are two types of LCD monitors: TN (Twisted Nematic) and IPS (In-Plane Switching). On TN monitors, the default without voltage is on. So, if the transistor is not supplying power, the pixel won’t be dead (black) but hot (white). On IPS monitors, it works the other way around.

Most of the times, the damage in the transistor is a manufacturing defect. However, it can also happen because the monitor falls or it suffers physical damage.

So, you can use a dead pixel test. There are some free ones online such as the one from LCD Tech. You simply need to click on the Start Test button, and it will automatically enter full-screen mode in complete white.

Keep in mind that these are just good practices that can extend the life of your LCD screen. Unfortunately, there isn’t a full-proof method to avoid getting stuck pixels.

So if the fear of the mere possibility of burn-in is your primary concern, the decision is simple: Buy an LCD-based display instead. But know that you"re sacrificing the best picture quality that money can buy. Here are some points to keep in mind:

To repeat, you can watch those channels, play games or whatever else to use your TV as a TV, your phone as a phone, etc. You just shouldn"t watch only those channels, all day every day. And if that sounds extreme, know that emails I"ve gotten from readers about burn-in always have some variation on "well I only watched that channel for 5 hours a day." If that sounds like you, get an LCD.

To remove image retention, the TVs can also perform "refreshers" on a daily or longer-term basis. On Sony TVs the feature is called "Panel Refresh," and LG calls it "Pixel Refresher." It can be run manually if you notice image retention or, in the case of LG, you"ll get a reminder to run it after 2,000 hours.

With TVs, beyond the methods outlined above, there"s not much you can do to reverse burn-in. In theory, I suppose, you could create an inverse image using Photoshop and run that on your screen for a while. This could age the rest of the panel to more evenly match the "burned in" area. Figuring out how to do this is well beyond the scope of this article, and you"d need to be pretty well versed in Photoshop to even attempt it.

The most comprehensive independent tests for burn-in on TVs was run by the aforementioned review site RTings. In August 2017 they began a burn-in torture test with LCD and OLED TVs, followed by a "real life" torture test in 2018. They stopped regularly updating the test in 2020, but that was after the equivalent of 5 years of normal use on multiple TVs, and still they felt that most people will never have an issue with burn-in.

Before you check it out, keep in mind what they"re doing is not normal use. You"d have to be trying to wreck a TV to make it look that bad, which is literally what they"re trying to do. That said, the information is still valuable, and the main takeaway is that OLED is indeed more susceptible to burn-in than LCD.

With OLED TVs, it"s something to keep in mind if you"re a TV news junkie, or only ever play one video game. Keep an eye out for image retention or uneven wear. If you spot it, perhaps switch up your viewing habits, adjust the TV"s settings, or run the pixel refresher a few times. And if you watch content with hours of the same static image each day, or just keep CNN, Fox or CNBC on in the background all day, you should probably get an LCD TV.

All too frequently, however, people fail to account for a common consequence of outdoor signage: fading colors. Over time, particularly in sunny areas, the pigmentation used in symbols, lettering and pictures don’t appear quite as brilliantly as first printed and some colors fade faster than others, mainly due to sun fading. Temperature extremes increase sun fading and tend to exacerbate the effects of fading colors as well, with no color taking more of a beating than red. When designing a long term outdoor sign, don’t be surprised to see any colors with red and yellow pigments fade faster than blue and green pigments. It’s an unfortunate problem that happens everywhere no matter how it’s printed.

How can you ensure your various shades of red continue to turn heads? Everything with pigment fades with time which includes printed signs, paints, and plastics. Here are a few pointers to consider in your signage strategies that can keep your brights brilliant for as long as possible.

Whichever printing company you partner with, ensure they keep you in the loop about all the techniques and equipment used throughout the process. They understand the importance of rich, radiant colors and ought to have the tools necessary to preserve brightness, regardless of what colors you select. For example, they should be able to help select a substrate material that will work best based on the colors, application and the environment in which your signs will be placed. They should also have UV inks available that specialize in fade resistance.
