Hi and welcome to justanswer.
To answer your question ;

A completely blank screen will not cause "burn-in" it will actually help to clear them from previous applications/programs.

Usually those burn-ins will clear themselves after a time , depending on how severe and how often you use the program (game ,computer, 4:3 tv shows, etc.) that caused them in the first place.

There are softwares out there that are designed to run through a computer that claim to be able to remove severe burn-in but they may also dull your tv`s picture as what they really do is burn all the pixels evenly.

Hope this help and let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
