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.  
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  
Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).

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  
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.  
Pixel DefectTolerances  
In order to qualify for repair or replacement  
due to pixel defects during the warranty period,  
aTFT Monitor panel in a Philips flat panel  
monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects  
exceeding the tolerances listed in the following  
tables.
