burn-in
Permanent display scarring
Burn-in is a testing period where new equipment runs continuously to catch early failures before deployment.
Electronics that survive burn-in are less likely to fail later.
In displays, burn-in refers to permanent image retention—ghost images left on screens from static content shown too long: The channel logo left burn-in on my old plasma TV.
