display IPS LED LCD is not energized frequently and is stored for many years without use, the liquid crystals will go to sleep and will not respond correctly. Will it generate problems with the pixels and permanent image retention because not use long periods?
When powered on after years of storage, the display might initially show sluggish response times or faint ghosting, but this can often recover with regular use.
is permanent this problems after many years or decades without use lcd led ips display?
In the gpt chat it says that if I store the ips led lcd display for years or decades without use there will be problems with the backlight, leds and pixels, is this true?
Old Monitors: People have revived 15-20-year-old LCDs stored in basements, often finding them functional but dimmer or with capacitor issues (e.g., recapped CRT/LCD anecdotes on forums like Reddit’s r/retrotech).
LED Aging: Studies (e.g., DOE reports on LED reliability) show unpowered LEDs degrade minimally over decades in controlled environments.
Capacitor Lifespan: Manufacturers rate electrolytic caps at 5,000-10,000 hours at 85°C, but at 25°C, this extends to 20-40 years (Arrhenius equation: lifespan doubles per 10°C drop).
Storage Tips to Minimize Problems
Cool & Dry: Store at 15-25°C, <50% relative humidity (use silica gel if possible).
Dark: Avoid UV light to protect polarizers and plastics.
Flat/No Pressure: Prevent LC misalignment or cracked glass.
Sealed: Keep dust and bugs out (e.g., original box or plastic bag).
Conclusion
Storing an IPS LED LCD for years or decades can lead to problems, primarily with the electronics (capacitors) and, to a lesser extent, the LED backlight (dimming). The pixels are unlikely to fail unless damaged. With good storage, it could work after 20-30 years, but after 50+ years, expect repairable issues (e.g., recap) or minor degradation. If you’re planning this, let me know the timeline or conditions—I can refine the prediction!
My Anecdote
LCD quality has improved to become pixel defect free new. If it failed in storage is that a similar mechanism to flash memory storing capacitance charge defects and degrading after so many years depending on quality and environment?
here varies temperature Brazil my home storage 34-36C humidity 57-67%
my electronics are handhheld consoles R36S and Powkiddy Q80 not use aluminum electrolytic capacitors
i store in cardboard boxes original console
display IPS LED LCD is not energized frequently and is stored for many years without use, the liquid crystals will go to sleep and will not respond correctly. Will it generate problems with the pixels and permanent image retention because not use long periods?
No, long-term storage won’t cause permanent image retention, but liquid crystals might become sluggish. Usually, just powering it on and running it for a while should bring it back to normal. Extreme humidity or heat could be a bigger issue over time.
In long-term storage years without use of the IPS LED LCD panel, the liquid crystals suffer from dead pixel, evaporation or degradation of the liquid crystal materials, Failure of the TFT transistors?
