Just a question about: how does this work physically? What makes the effect
of a burn in on a LCD? I mean from the technological point. Anybody any hint?
Till now I thought I've understood how a TFT works, but now I've a problem...
I think on a CRT the effect is clear. But how does a Thin Film Transistor
"burn in" what happens to the transistor? Any genies in electronics arround?
