BRIGHT DOT DEFECTS

Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always lit or "on". These are the examples of bright dot defects:

PROXIMITY OF PIXEL DEFECTS

Because pixel and sub-pixels defects of the same type that are nearby one another may be more noticeable, Philips also
specifies tolerances for the proximity of pixel defects. In the table below you can find specifications about:
• Allowed amount of adjacent dark dots = (adjacent dark dots =1 pair of dark dots)
• Minimum distance between dark dots
• Total no. of all defective dots
6.6.

PIXEL DEFECT TOLERANCES

In order to qualify for repair due to pixel defects during the warranty period, a PDP/TFT panel in a Philips Plasma/LCD-
display must have pixel or sub-pixel defects exceeding the tolerances listed in the following table.
BRIGHT DOT EFFECT
MODEL
1 lit sub pixel
Distance between two bright dot defects*
BLACK DOT EFFECT
1 dark sub pixel
Distance between two dark dot defects*
TOTAL DOT DEFECTS OF ALL TYPES
Note: * 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
Two adjacent lit sub-pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Two adjacent dark dots = 1 pair of
dark dots
