Yes! But intuition tells me that suspended particles moving past each other make a more fragile system than solid state devices.

Also take into account the difference in refreshes between reading a book (0.05 HZ) and writing (30 HZ). That is, using the display as a general purpose monitor necessitates 600 times as many partial refreshes. I approximate full screen refreshes occur 6000 times more often.

If degradation goes linearly with usage then the lifespan of the display would decrease significantly if used as a monitor. It would be good if someone in the industry could comment on this.
