We strive to deliver the highest quality products and use some of the industry’s most advanced manufacturing processes whilst practicing stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub-pixel defects on the PDP / TFT panels used in Plasma- & LCD- displays are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any Plasma- & LCD- displays with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired during the warranty period in line with your local guarantee conditions. This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines the acceptable defect level for the LCD screen. In order to qualify for repair under warranty, the number of pixel defects must exceed a certain level as shown in the reference table. If the LCD screen is within specification a warranty exchange / claim back will be refused. Additionally, because some types or combinations of pixel defects are more noticeable than others, Philips sets even higher quality standards for those. 8.1. Pixels and Sub-Pixels A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub-pixels in the primary colors of red, green and subpixel blue.
Dark Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always dark or “off ”. These are the examples of black dot defects: One dark dot Two adjacent dark dots = 1 pair of dark dots Two dark dots, specifications defines the minimum distance between dark dots 8.5. 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 8.6. 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.
