AMOLED Burn-in

AMOLED burn-in occurs when static images or interface elements are displayed for extended periods, causing certain pixels to degrade unevenly. Since AMOLED screens use organic compounds that emit light, constant use of specific areas can lead to uneven wear, leaving faint "ghost" images or ghosting visible even after the display changes. This phenomenon is similar to how a photograph can leave a faint imprint if exposed to light too long. Burn-in is a gradual process, and while modern screens have features to reduce it, prolonged static images can still cause permanent visual artifacts over time.
