3.4 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
pixeldefectsontheTFTLCDpanelsusedinflat
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
pixeldefectsonaTFTLCDpanelmustexceed
theseacceptablelevels.Forexample,nomore
than0.0004%ofthesubpixelsona20"XGA
monitormaybedefective.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.
Pixels and Sub pixels
Apixel,orpictureelement,iscomposedofthree
sub pixels in the primary colors of red, green and
blue.Manypixelstogetherformanimage.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.
Types of Pixel Defects
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.
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.
Therearethetypesofbrightdotdefects:
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel
Twoadjacentlitsubpixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red+Green=Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel)
19
Note
Aredorbluebrightdotmustbemorethan 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.Thesearethetypesofblackdotdefects:
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 Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement due
topixeldefectsduringthewarrantyperiod,aTFT
LCD panel in a Philips flat panel monitor must
have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the
tolerances listed in the following tables.
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
MODEL 202E2/202EL2
1 lit subpixel 3
2 adjacent lit subpixels 1
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
