white screen
Monitor showing nothing
A white screen is a display showing nothing but white—the visual equivalent of a blank page.
In computing, it often signals a crash or loading failure: My phone just went to a white screen and won't respond.
The phrase also describes projection surfaces and photography backdrops.
A white screen of death, like its blue counterpart, indicates a system malfunction requiring restart or repair.
