Types of Pixel Defects  
7 Customer care and warranty  
Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen  
in different ways.There are two categories of pixel  
defects and several types of sub pixel defects  
within each category.  
7.1 Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect  
Policy  
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality  
products.We use some of the industry's most  
advanced manufacturing processes and practice  
stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub  
pixel defects on theTFT monitor panels used in  
flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable.  
No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will  
be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees  
that any monitor with an unacceptable number  
of defects will be repaired or replaced under  
warranty.This notice explains the different types  
of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect  
levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair  
or replacement under warranty, the number of  
pixel defects on aTFT monitor panel must exceed  
these acceptable levels. For example, no more  
than 0.0004% of the sub pixels on a monitor may  
be defective. Furthermore, Philips sets even higher  
quality standards for certain types or combinations  
of pixel defects that are more noticeable than  
others.This policy is valid worldwide.  
Bright Dot Defects  
Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels  
that are always lit or 'on'.That is, a bright dot is  
a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when  
the monitor displays a dark pattern.There are the  
types of bright dot defects:  
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel  
Two adjacent lit sub pixels:  
-
-
-
Red + Blue = Purple  
Red + Green =Yellow  
Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)  
Pixels and Sub pixels  
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three  
sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and  
blue. Many pixels together form an image.When  
all sub pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored  
sub pixels together appear as a single white pixel.  
When all are dark, the three colored sub pixels  
together appear as a single black pixel. Other  
combinations of lit and dark sub pixels appear as  
single pixels of other colors.  
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel)

7. Customer care and warranty  
Note  
A red or blue bright dot must be more  
than 50  
percent brighter than neighboring dots while  
a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than  
neighboring dots.  
Black Dot Defects  
Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels  
that are always dark or 'off'.That is, a dark dot is  
a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when  
the monitor displays a light pattern.These are the  
types of black dot defects.  
Proximity of Pixel Defects  
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same  
type that are near to one another may be more  
noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the  
proximity of pixel defects.  
Pixel DefectTolerances  
In order to qualify for repair or replacement due  
to pixel defects during the warranty period, a  
TFT monitor panel in a Philips flat panel monitor  
must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the  
tolerances listed in the following tables.
