Permanently unlit or lit pixels
Today's production techniques cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen display. Depending
on the total number of pixels (resolution), there may be a few constantly lit or unlit pixels or subpixels.
Pixel
Subpixel
The maximum permitted number of faulty pixels is stipulated in the international standard
ISO 9241-307. In accordance with standard ISO 9241-3, LCD monitors by Fujitsu comply with Class
II for low resolutions and Class I for resolutions of 1600 x 900 (1440000 pixel) and higher.
Examples:
A flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 has 1280 x 1024 = 1310720 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 3,9 million
subpixels in total. According to ISO 9241-3 (Class II), a maximum of 2 lit and 2 unlit
pixels and in addition 6 lit and 1 unlit subpixels or 13 unlit subpixels or a corresponding
combination may be faulty (1 lit subpixel counts as two unlit subpixels).
A flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1600 x 900 has 1600 x 900 = 1440000 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 4,3 million
subpixels in total. According to ISO 9241-3 (Class I), a maximum of 1 lit and 1 unlit pixel and
in addition 3 lit and 1 unlit subpixels or a maximum of 7 unlit subpixels or a corresponding
combination may be faulty (1 lit subpixel counts as two unlit subpixels).
32
A pixel consists of 3 subpixels, normally red, green and blue. A pixel is
the smallest element that can be generated by complete functionality of
the display.
A subpixel is a separately addressable internal structure within a pixel that
enhances the pixel function.
