How to Protect the Screen of Your Phone

If you are familiar with AMOLED, the phrase “burn-in” may ring a bell. Continuously showing the same pattern, logo, icon or other stuff on the screen in the same place could cause permanent damage, which is a faint image. And this is what we call screen burn. But things we will learn about today are how to prevent this from happening.

AMOLED displays, including Super AMOLED Plus HD, Super AMOLED Plus and Super AMOLED, are widely used, because they are thinner power-saving and blacker than IPS that iPhone adapts. Many televisions and Android devices such as Samsung, HTC and Motorola tend to use these panels.

So, knowledge about how to prevent your screen is essential. Now I will show you some tips to prevent your displays from giving out.

Do not left your AMOLED screen turned on for over an hour—which is an option in the Android settings. And do not keep it still for more than 20 minutes.
In the earliest 200 hours, burn-in is easy to take place.
Set the contrast ratio to 50 or lower. If it is too high, luminous pixels will degrade as chemistry involved in creating the electroluminescence continues. So, better turn down your screen.
Shift the content a little bit when you are playing games or other things that contain stills.
Try not to play contents of 4: 3, particularly in the earliest 200 hours.
Set your status bar transparent and use a live wallpaper to shift offending images. (Note: only to turn the status bar transparent is not enough.)
