Impurities or foreign particles in the crystal matrix
Uneven distribution of LCD matrix during manufacturing
Non-uniform luminance distribution of the backlight
Panel assembly induced stress
Flaws within the LCD cells
Thermal induced stress - high temperature operation over long periods of time
HOW TO AVOID MURA
