Full Purple Screen

A full purple screen is typically used as a background to give presentations or make the ambience more relaxing. It is also often used as a blank canvas to detect faulty or dead pixels on the screens, and the black faulty pixels are easy to identify on a purple background.

Additionally, a purple screen also serves other environmental benefits, such as making the ambiance more soothing and relaxing. At other times, it may be used simply to keep the screen awake but not as bright as the default screen.

The purple screen that FullScreen provides is different than the ones experienced in mobile phones or VMWare devices. Those occur due to technical or hardware issues with the device, like a damaged OLED display on an Android device. The full purple screen serves a different purpose.

Test patterns in broadcasting

In television broadcasting or video production, a full purple screen might be used as a test pattern. While color bars are more common, a single-color screen like purple could be used for testing purposes, such as color calibration, testing transmission paths, or ensuring that a signal is being transmitted without content.

Digital signage and screensavers

In digital signage or screen-saving applications, a full purple screen might be intentionally displayed as part of a sequence of colors or images for aesthetic purposes, to prevent screen burn-in, or to indicate that the system is in a standby or idle mode.

Indicator of content transition

In live streaming, video production, or presentations, a full purple screen might be used as a placeholder or transition screen between different segments of content, signaling to the technical team or audience that a change is taking place.
