How To Protect Your Smartphones From Screen Burn In ??

Before the discovery of LCD and LED displays, there was a display technology called CRT or Cathode Ray Tube. But one big disadvantage of the display was that some portion of the display will retain the content it used to display regularly. But why this was happening?

When a same image is being displayed regularly on the same spot, the ray hitting from the CRT will use up the phosphorous on that part of the screen. To prevent this problem, we found a simple method and that was by using screen savers. They are randomly displayed image, text or animation which changes continuously so that no part of screen displays same content all the time. But, in the world of innovations and modern display technologies, is this still a concern? Let's find out.

There is a concern about AMOLED screens particularly having a burn effect. But why does that happen in this modern technology which uses entirely different display methods than CRTs. In smartphone displays with 'always on' functions which displays clocks or things like status bar and navigation keys, they are always on the same spot and using the same LEDs to display it. So, after a long period of probably several months to few years, the LEDs will start to lose some of their colors. Especially blue LEDs in the screen.

As the current passes through the LEDs, it gives out light. But as times go on the output will get dimmer for the same amount of current. One solution to this problem is making the blue LEDs slightly bigger compare to other colors, so that less current passing through it compared to the size of LED. Samsung has been using this method in an attempt to reduce the problem of burn in. Other method some manufacturers use is changing the image to one pixel to any side or giving some animation to the always on display features.

Since the manufacturers are finding solutions for this problems, users doesn't need to be concerned about it. But still there are things users can do to save their displays from a burn in. These are the tips for users who are really worried about the issue.

Do not keep the screen brightness in maximum. Use Adaptive brightness which can save battery as well as your screen.
Change your background periodically.
Turn off always on features or change the their display styles.

This Shrimp Creates Vacuum With A Single Punch !!

Mantis Shrimp Mantis Shrimps are one of the cutest but fierce shrimps that can be found in oceans all around the globe. So how does it create a vacuum just with a punch? Let's see. This shrimp is famous for its super punch and its complex eye structure. It's eyes are so good that it can have a full 360 view all the time and it's eyes have more than three times the amount of photo-receptors that a human have. It also has spectacular depth receptors to pin point the exact position of the prey so that it can deliver the perfect punch. Now let's talk about the world's fastest punch this tiny creature can deliver. The punch is so fast that it accelerates at the same speed as that of a 22 caliber bullet. The punch reaches around 45-50 miles per hour in just 3 milliseconds. A saddle shaped part of its exoskeleton which acts similar to a spring boosts the strike speed generated by the muscles.The punch is impossible to see by normal human eyes. We will need high s...

The Man Who Saved The World From Nuclear War

You might have seen super heroes saving the planet from monster attacks and alien invasion. Are all of those super heroes saving the world just stories or there are instances where some hero saved the world from a terrible catastrophes? Let's jump right into the story of Stanislav Yevgrafovich Petrov who saved the world from a nuclear war. On 26th September 1983, Petrov was the duty officer at the command center for the Oko nuclear early-warning system. He was a lieutenant colonel of the Soviet Air Defense Forces. His job was to monitor signs of incoming missiles and report to the higher officials in case of an attack. On that day, for the first time the nuclear early warning system of the Soviet Union reported the launch of multiple USAF Minuteman intercontinental ballistic missiles from bases in the United States. What Petrov decided to do saved the world from a nuclear war on that day. so, what was the amazing act he did? He didn't report it to anyon...

Can a Large Mass of Water Extinguish The Sun ?!!

What can extinguish the sun..? We know water can put out fire. So, what if we manage to bring up a considerably huge mass of water to the sun and drop it there successfully? What will happen? Let's see an approximate amount of energy that reaches the earth from the sun. The earth itself gets about one hundred and seventy trillion kilowatts of energy from the sun in a single day. But is this nowhere near the actual amount that the sun gives out. The sun disburses energy which is two billion times of what we receive at our planet. All these energy is given out to the outer space. So, let's see what will happen if we drop huge mass of water on sun. In order to know about the outcome, we first need to know how water helps put out fire down here at earth. The fire needs a fuel for its existance and when water breaks the supply of combustable fuel, it gets extinguished. But in the case of sun, its not normal fire that we are talking about. The source of energy in the sun is ...
