Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Philips Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of \
the industrys most 
advanced manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control.\
 However, pixel or 
sub pixel defects on the TFT LCD 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 d\
efects 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 LCD pan\
el must exceed 
these acceptable levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% of the sub pi\
xels on a 15 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.
Pixels and Sub pixels 
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub pixels in the prim\
ary 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. Wh\
en 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. Ther\
e are two categories 
of pixel defects and several types of sub pixel defects within each cate\
gory. 
Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit o\
r 
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 pixelTwo adjacent lit sub pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Three adjacent lit sub 
pixels (one white pixel)
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 do\
ts.
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:

One dark sub pixel Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels
Proximity of Pixel Defects 
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are near to o\
ne another may be 
more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances for the proximity of \
pixel defects.
