I'd imagine you should probably avoid sharp deltas to avoid any risk of condensation, though? |
I suspect if the screen froze very bad things would happen, depending on the amount of water in the tiny bubbles of ink etc. Probably best not to risk the screen itself going below freezing. Of course, what the freezing point of the screen actually *is* is another matter: it's likely below 0C, since the ink bubbles are obviously not pure water but allegedly something like titanium dioxide floating in a hydrocarbon or something. There are lots of wildly varying suggestions for freezing point on the net, with a mean guess around -5C. It will definitely freeze long before oil canisters do, so take care.
