Notice
The equipment should draw power from a
socket with an attached protection circuit (a
three-prong socket). All equipment that works
together (computer, monitor, printer, and so on)
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).
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
equipment is in compliance with the protection
usage requirements of standards PN-93/T-42107

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 the TFT 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 a TFT
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.
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
7
. Customer care and warrant
y
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. 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)
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).
37
7
. Customer care and warrant
y
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 Defect Tolerances
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.
BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 lit subpixel 3
2 adjacent lit subpixels 1
3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel) 0
Distance between two bright dot defects* >15mm
Total bright dot defects of all types 3
BLACK DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
1 dark subpixel 5 or fewer
2 adjacent dark subpixels 2 or fewer
3 adjacent dark subpixels 0
Distance between two black dot defects* >15mm
Total black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS ACCEPTABLE LEVEL
Total bright or black dot defects of all types 5 or fewer
Note
1. 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
2. This monitor is ISO9241-307 compliant (ISO9241-307: Ergonomic requirement,analysis and
compliance test methods for electronic visual displays)
