Just to be specific about the point made by earlier contributers to this
thread - that what you are seeing is the result of Mathematica clipping the
plot range to what it thinks is significant, and that this can be avoided by
setting PlotRange->All.

With

    dp=ListDensityPlot[matrix];

We have

    PlotRange[dp][[3]]

        {0.,0.000092028}

Which is a very small part of the range of matrix values:

    Through[{Min,Max}[matrix]]

        {6.532730362808272*^-22, 0.9373917995816773}

So every matrix value at or above 0.000092028 gives white and each value,v ,
in {0.,0.000092028} gives GrayLevel[v/0.000092028].
The latter scaling gives more discrimination than you want in the this
range.

This clipping does not occur with BarChart3D because the default setting is
PlotRange -> All.
But it does occur with

    ListPlot3D[matrix];
