Method for increasing the lifetime of a display, related display, computer program and devices

Abstract

The invention relates to the field of displays (monitors, terminals) used in retail, industry, logistics, transportation and laboratory, in particular displays for retail weighing devices. A method for increasing the lifetime of such displays is provided. The method includes setting a brightness dimming parameter of the display to an initial value that is below a possible maximum value, determining whether a parameter that is characteristic for an aging of the display reached a threshold value, and increasing the brightness dimming parameter if the parameter that is characteristic for an aging of the display reached the threshold value. Further provided are a corresponding display, computer program, and retail, industry, logistics, transportation and laboratory devices, in particular a corresponding retail weighing device.
