Permanently unlit or lit pixels
The standard of production techniques today cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free screen
display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit pixels may be present. The maximum permitted number of
pixels faults is stipulated in the stringent international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
Example: A 17"/19" 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 4 million
subpixels (or dots) in total. According to ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 6 pixels and 7
subpixels may be defective, i. e. a total of 25 defective dots.
A 22" wide flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1680 x 1050 has 1680 x 1050 = 1764000 pixels.
Each pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), so there are almost 5 million subpixels
(or dots) in total. In accordance with ISO 13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 8 pixels and an additional
10 subpixels may be defective.
