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:
One lit red, green or blue sub pixel
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 black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark sub-pixels appear as
single pixels of other colors.
