persistence

The amount of time a phosphor or diode pixel stays lit after current has been applied to it. A pixel's persistence is what allows an image to remain on the screen between screen refreshes. Screens with short-persistence pixels may show flicker, while those with long-persistence pixels may show ghosting.
