ENGLISH 26 CAUTION •• Image sticking does not occur when using constantly changing images but may occur when using a fixed image for an extended period of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you use the instructions below to decrease the likelihood of image sticking occurring when using a fixed image. It is recommended that you change the screen at least once every 12 hours at the very minimum; if done more frequently, the prevention of image sticking is more effective. Recommended operating conditions 1 Change the background and the character colors using the same time interval.

Make sure that the characters or images before changing the image remain in the same location after changing the image. What is image sticking? When the LCD panel displays a static image for an extended period of time, it can cause a voltage difference between the electrodes that operate the liquid crystals. When the voltage difference between the electrodes builds up over time, liquid crystals have a tendency to remain aligned in one direction. During this process, a previously displayed image remains visible. This phenomenon is referred to as image sticking.
