image persistence

Image persistence, also known as afterimages, occurs when a faint remnant of a previous image remains on a display even after it has changed. This happens because the pixels in screens or cameras retain a temporary state influenced by the previous image, causing a ghostly imprint. It's similar to how staring at a bright light makes you see a lingering afterglow. This phenomenon is usually brief but can be more noticeable on certain screens or with static images, and is often a temporary effect that diminishes quickly.
