I have a Kindle Touch, 4th generation, announced in 2011, and its display is still fine. Every so often I forget for several months (or years) to charge it and it takes at least a day for it to wake up and start charging so running the battery down doesn't seem to be something that affects the display.
Well frankly speaking I never took the Kindle out of my home in all these years!! I kept it in a place where there is NO chance of it getting exposed to sun/sunlight or extremes of temperature/climate.
