Types of Pixel Defects
3.5 Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel
Defect Policy
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.
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 23" XGA
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)
22
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Note
A red or blue bright dot must be more
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.
than 50
percent brighter than neighboring dots while
a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than

should have the same power supply source.
The phasing conductor of the room's electrical
installation should have a reserve short-circuit
protection device in the form of a fuse with a
nominal value no larger than 16 amperes (A).
Cependant, rien ne peut garantir l'absence
d'interférences dans le cadre d'une

fermant l'équipement, puis en le remettant
en fonction, l'utilisateur pourrait essayer de
corriger la situation en prenant les mesures
suivantes:
To completely switch off the equipment, the
power supply cable must be removed from the
power supply socket, which should be located
near the equipment and easily accessible.
A protection mark "B" confirms that the
