3.4 Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel    
Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality 
products. We use some of the industr y's 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 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	LCD	panel	must	exceed	
these	acceptable	levels. 	For	example,	no	more	
than	0.0004%	of	the	sub	pixels	on	a	21.5"	XGA	
monitor	may	be	defective. 	Fur thermore,	Philips	
sets even higher quality standards for cer tain 
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 primar y 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 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 categor y. 
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)
 
						

							17
 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	
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 DEFECTSACCEPTABLE LEVEL
  MODEL 221E2/221EL2
   1 lit subpixel3
   2 adjacent lit subpixels1
   3 adjacent lit subpixels (one white pixel)0
  Distance between two bright dot defects*>15mm
   Total bright dot defects of all types3
   BLACK DOT DEFECTSACCEPTABLE LEVEL
  MODEL221E2/221EL2
   1 dark subpixel5 or fewer
   2 adjacent dark subpixels2 or fewer
   3 adjacent dark subpixels0
  Distance between two black dot defects*>15mm
   Total black dot defects of all types5 or fewer
   TOTAL DOT DEFECTSACCEPTABLE LEVEL
  MODEL221E2/221EL2
    Total bright or black dot defects of all types5 or fewer
 Note 
1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
This monitor is ISO9241-307 compliant.
