Burn-in on a monitor, when severe as in this "please wait" message, is visible even when the monitor is switched off. Screen burn-in, image burn-in, ghost image, or shadow image, is a permanent discoloration of areas on an electronic visual display such as a cathode-ray tube (CRT) in an older computer monitor or television set.
Image persistence can occur as easily as having something remain unchanged on the screen in the same location for a duration of even 10 minutes, such as a web page or document. Minor cases of image persistence are generally only visible when looking at darker areas on the screen, and usually invisible to the eye during ordinary computer use.
A separation artifact in top image makes the tumor look incompletely excised, but the next microtomy level (bottom image) shows a surgical margin of connective tissue. Stacking of cells on top of each other gives a dark look, and in this breast tissue it may mimic microcalcifications.
Before the advent of LCD screens, most computer screens were based on cathode-ray tubes (CRTs). When the same image is displayed on a CRT screen for long periods, the properties of the exposed areas of the phosphor coating on the inside of the screen gradually and permanently change, eventually leading to a darkened shadow or "ghost" image on the screen, called a screen burn-in.
Illustration of the effect of JPEG compression on a slightly noisy image with a mixture of text and whitespace. Text is a screen capture from a Wikipedia conversation with noise added (intensity 10 in Paint.NET). One frame of the animation was saved as a JPEG (quality 90) and reloaded.
Most operating systems have a built in feature that allows you to take a picture of what is on your screen. If you're asked to provide a screenshot when contacting AOL about an issue, you can use these steps for the most common operating systems. If you're using a different device, contact the manufacturer of the device for specific steps.
Tempest for Eliza is a program that uses a computer monitor to send out AM radio signals, making it possible to hear computer-generated music in a radio. Video eavesdropping demo at CeBIT 2006 by a Cambridge University security researcher; eckbox – unsuccessful or abandoned attempt in spring 2004 to build an open-source Van Eck phreaking ...
In some contexts, the term bitmap implies one bit per pixel, whereas pixmap is used for images with multiple bits per pixel. [3] [4] A bitmap is a type of memory organization or image file format used to store digital images. The term bitmap comes from the computer programming terminology, meaning just a map of bits, a spatially mapped array of ...
