ZeroBurn is a new technology by IP Mining that will finally stop burn-in of OLED TVs and Plasma TVs.
The next step by IP Mining is licensing the ZeroBurn technology to the OLED and plasma TV manufacturers. A “usage profile” of each pixel is stored after monitoring every sub-pixel usage. The ZeroBurn process makes the inline video-signal make up for the pixels that have been over used.
ZeroBurn process also has a mode in which it uses under-utilized sub pixels to achieve homogeneous luminance. Although the image quality has improved, the OLED TV ends up consuming more power. There is a risk of the OLED TV becoming non-efficient if used in that mode.
IP Mining says that the need for great image quality has increased. This is because television content now has more graphics than ever before. To make this visual medium more appealing, new technologies like ZeroBurn are being introduced.

Dear folks,
I am disappointed to read that this ‘Zeroburn’ technology will make the OLED television less power efficient.
Current LCD and Plasma televisions use more power than the old cathode ray tube televisions ; the new OLED technology is supposed to use far less power. There was previously a breakthrough to enable the cheaper production of OLED televisions ; perhaps it will soon be possible to achieve the making of longer lasting OLED televisions which do NOT use more power.
An important point : if OLED televisions were already going to last approximately 20 years (under normal usage) before ‘Zeroburn’, then why not consider scrapping the ‘Zeroburn’ technology. That is, I feel sure that most people would prefer a television that ran economically for twenty years, rather than a television that ran un-economically for 25 or 30 years.
Comments please.
