Image Persistence
✦
Image persistence is a residual or “ghost” image of a static figure or object. The static figure or
object remains visible on the screen even though a new image is on the display. This is usually
due to static images being displayed for a long period of time. Fortunately, image persistence
on LCD monitors is not permanent. To alleviate image persistence, turn off the monitor for as
long as the previous image was displayed. For example, if an image was on the monitor for
one hour and a residual image remains, the monitor should be turned off for one hour to erase
the image.
