AOC Pixel Policy
ISO 9241-307 Class 1
July 25th, 2013
AOC strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry’s most advanced manufacturing
processes and practice stringent qu al ity control. However, pixel or su b pi xel defects on the TFT monitor panels used in
flat pan el monitors are sometimes unavoi dable. No manufacturer can guarantee th at al l panels will be free f rom pixel
defects, bu t AOC guarantees that an y monitor with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced
under warranty. This Pixel Policy explains th e different types of pixel defects and defines acceptab le defect levels for
each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement under warranty, the number of pixel defects on a TFT monitor
panel must exceed these acceptable levels.
Pixels and Sub Pixel Definition
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. When all sub
pixels of pixel are lit, the three colored sub pixel together appear as a single white pi xel. When all are dark, the three
colored sub pixels together appear as a single black pixel.
Types of Pixel Defects
• Bright Dot Defects: the m onitor displays a dark pattern, sub pixels or pixels are always lit or “on”
• Black Dot Defects: the monitor displays a light pattern, sub pixels or pixels are always dark or “off”.
