When you add the option to Display Icon, you allow the user to decide whether or not they will be able to view icons for which there are no associated events or tasks. By default, the Display Icon box will be checked.
If you chose to uncheck the Display Icon box, you will notice on your calendar that only icons that have events/tasks associated with them are displayed.
