With phosphor-based electronic displays, non-uniform use of pixels, such as prolonged display of non-moving images, gaming, or certain broadcasts with tickers and flags, can create a permanent ghost-like image of these objects or otherwise degrade image quality. This is because the phosphor compounds which emit light to produce images lose their luminance with use. Uneven usage results in uneven light output over time, and in severe cases can create a ghost image of previous content. Even if ghost images are not recognizable, the effects of screen burn are an immediate and continual degradation of image quality.

What was created to combat screen burn-in?

Way back in 1960, for A. J. Varghese, the founder, a salesman himself, a shop of his own was a dream come true. He was a simple, God-fearing man and was known for his simplicity at the beginning of his career and for charity later on. He had a large family to care of. His wife was Mrs. Elia Varghese. They had five sons, Mr. , Mr. Paul, Mr. , Mr. and Mr. Anto. The first shop was started very modestly in 1960, in High Road, Thrissur. It was only around 200 sq. ft. and was shifted later on to M. O. Road, its present location in Thrissur. Soon, they expanded their business to Kozhikode where they were received by an astounding response, because apparently people were looking for a changeover.

People in Europe before the 16th century took relatively few baths. Baths were often thought unhealthy, and they were difficult to prepare, since you had to draw and heat water for everyone to bathe in. This often meant that the same water might be used for a whole family’s bath, and the family used to bathe in a particular order, with the man of the house going in first, and going last.

What phrase results from this practice?
