Description
**Describe the problem you have/What new integration you would like**
To avoid burned pixels in OLED displays what happens in 2-4 months if static picture/text is shown constantly
**Please describe your use case for this integration and alternatives you've tried:**
OLED SSD1306 displays get burned pixels if pixels not changing, go off for some time. In my other custom projects, I use timer and loop how long display shows the content ie 30s display, then 5s off completely.

Research direction
Start by reviewing the OLED SSD1306 display integration and how its display content is refreshed or switched off; the issue does not name files or tests. Compare the requested 30-second display and 5-second off behavior with existing timer or loop support. Done means a documented, tested way to prevent static content from remaining continuously lit.
