Mobile Screensavers
Mobile screensavers are run by a program that makes the mobile phone screen blank when it is not being used. When the keypad is not pressed after a certain period of time, mobile screensavers are activated. This saves the quality of the screen display. Most mobile screensavers show animated designs and pictures. Some mobile screensavers indicate time and date settings. The design of mobile screensavers serves both artistic and security purposes.
The use of screensavers was initially devised for computer monitors to avoid a permanent impression of an image on the screen, which is called ghosting. This was typical of older versions of computer monitors when a pattern is reflected on the screen for a longer duration.
Today, mobile screensavers function as a form of screen decoration and security measure. The images displayed as mobile screensavers also protects the mobile phone from prying eyes. Mobile screensavers may be protected by a password. Unless the mobile phone user keys in the correct password, the screen will remain blank (or dark as if the power is turned off) or filled with moving objects. Mobile screensavers, however, are not power-saving tools, because they do not make the gadget consume less power when it is idle.
