A Segment display contains a nematic fluid between two layers of ITO glass.

If the fluid gets too cold, it freezes and the display locks up. If the fluid gets to hot, there is a black spot that appears on the screen.

The black spot will go away once the display cools off. It is helpful to run air (use a fan) across the glass to keep the fluid cooler.

It is also possible to use a high temp liquid for higher operating temperatures.
