Seriously, is it normal for LCDs to get warm during operation?

Heee, do you remember the old laptops with the blue/purple monochrome 
LCDs? Where if you touched the screen, the whole picture rippled slightly?

[Actually, our photocopier has a display like that. And I think it needs 
a screen saver, cos some of the controls are well burnt into it! I 
didn't think LCDs could "burn" like that?]
