PIXEL LOSS ON FEATHERWING OLEDS
Has Adafruit found this problem from other customers? Does the BANNED Systech SSD1306Z driver or the univision Technology UG-2832HSWEG02 display have a history of life expectancy issues?
Please respond so that our customer installed base can be advised of plans to resolve this issue. I have also submitted this information to [email protected].

Re: PIXEL LOSS ON FEATHERWING OLEDS
As a reply to my own post -- I have found the Univision specification which states a life of 10K hours under normal room temperature. It is now obvious that this display cannot be left ON continuously, but rather it must be turned on for perhaps 1 minute upon receiving a user requested input. This would greatly extend the pixel life beyond the 10K hours glow time.

Correct. That's a general, and known, issue with OLEDs.
