Proposed measures taken to relieve image sticking
So long as there is the reduction of brightness in the fluorescent substance, it is impossible to the avoid the occurrence of image sticking .Therefore, to relieve image sticking,we offer you a method of entering an image input that may ensure reluctance to the generation of the difference in brightness reduction among the displayed dots.
The images from TV broadcasting involve a high rate of motion picture displays. Therefore, there is less change of being a cause of difference in brightness reduction among the cells. Even when the fixed patterns are displayed, they generally last for a few minutes. Since the same pattern is less liable to be displayed, there is almost no influence toward image sticking. If the fixed patterns tend to be displayed for a long time, however, there occurs a substantial imbalance between the lighting and non-lighting areas, this causing a difference in brightness as a result. In this document , we offer you some proposals of installation, paying attentions to the two points: the reduction of difference of brightness achieved by integrated lighting time levering and the method of edge smearing to make image sticking hard to be discerned. The result from these proposals can, however, greatly depend on the contents of images and operating environment. Therefore, we consider that it is essential to take the suitable measures in consideration of the customer’s operating environment.

Example of Proposal 1: The display position is moved while the fixed display
pattern is changed over, or it is scrolled during the display.
Example of Proposal 2: If possible, a pattern of complementary color is incorporated (for integrated time levelling).
Example of Proposal 3: The fixed pattern and the motion picture display are reciprocally exchanged, in order to minimize display period of the fixed pattern.
Example of Proposal 4: During operation, the brightness of screen is suppressed as low as possible. For the display patterns, characters are indicated not on the black ground (non-picture area) but on the coloured ground (mixture of R, G,B recommended).

Apart from the above proposal, some module has been equipped with
a special method that minimizes the image sticking phenomenon. When in the
fixed pattern display mode, the module decreases the brightness over a period
of 10 minutes with small steps. The figure blow shows that the decrease in
brightness is so small the user will not notice. The basis of the evaluation was while the ISM
Mode in the module was operating, the brightness decrease about 55 % of its
initial value at the white window pattern ( 1/25 of full white pattern ) ISM
operational conditions
1. Detective deviation: The change of APL Data is no less than ± 4 and it will remain for more than 5 minutes.
2. Regardless of time, it will not operate where the display load is over 50%.
