PRODUCT INFORMATION (Image Retention Free)
y
A
A
LCD Monitors and TVs may have image retention when switching from one image to another
especially after displaying a stationary image for a long time.
This guide is to demonstrate correct usage of LCD products in order to protect them from Image
retention.
Warrant
Warranty does not cover any damage caused by image retention.
Burn-in is not covered by the warranty.
What is Image retention ?
During normal operation of a LCD panel, pixel image retention d oesn't occur. However,
if the same image is displayed for a long time, a slight differe nce in electric charge
accumulates between the two electrodes which encase the liqui d crystal. This may
cause the liquid crystal to build up in a certain areas of the display. Thus, the previous
image is retained when switching to a new video image. All display products, including
LCD,are subject to image retention. This is not a product defect.
Please follow the suggestions below to protect your LCD from image retentio n
Power Off, Screen Saver, or Power Save Mode
Ex)
z Turn the power off when using a stationary pattern.
- Turn the power off for 4 hours after 24 hours in use
- Turn the power off for 2 hours after 12 hours in use
z Use a Screen saver if possible
- Screen saver in one color or a moving image is recommended.
z Set the Monitor to power off with the PC Display Properties Power Scheme.
Suggestions for specific applications
Ex) Airports, Transit Stations, Stock Markets, Banks, and Controlling Systems
We recommend that you follow set up of your display system program as below:
Display Information together with Logo or Moving image cycle.
Ex) Cycle : Display Information for 1 hour followed by a
Display Logo or moving image for 1 minute.
Change the Color Information periodically (Use 2 different colors).
Ex) Rotate the Color Information with 2 colors every 30 minutes.
void using a combination of characters and background color with large
difference in luminance.
void using Grey colors, which can cause Image retention easily.
z Avoid: Colors with big difference in luminance (Black & White, Grey)
Ex)
z Recommended settings: Bright colors with little difference in luminance
- Change the characters color and background color every 30 minutes
Ex)
- Every 30 minutes, change the characters with movement.
Ex)
The best way to protect your monitor from Image retention is to set your PC or
System to operate a Screen Saver program when you are not using it.
Image retention may not occur when a LCD panel is operated unde r normal c onditions.
Normal conditions are defined as continuously changing video patterns. When the LCD
panel is operated for a long time with a fixed pattern (-over 12 hours-), there may be
slight difference in voltage between electrodes that work the liquid crystal (LC) in a
pixel. The voltage difference between electrodes increases with time, forcing the liquid
crystal to lean. When this occurs, the previous image may be seen when the pattern is
changed.
To prevent this, the accumulated voltage difference must be decreased.
Our LCD Monitor satisfies ISO13406-2 Pixel fault Class II
Features
RTA Monitor
RTA (Response Time Accelerator)
A function that accelerates the response speed of the panel so as to provide a sharper and more
natural video display.
RTA On Activates the RTA function so that the panel operates at a higher response speed than
its original speed.
RTA OFF Deactivates the RTA function so that the panel operates at its original response speed.
If you turn the power off and on again after switching RTA off, the RTA function is automatically
switched On (Factory Setting)
