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.

Subpixel fault
The maximum permitted number of faulty pixels is stipulated in the international standard
ISO 9241-307. The LCD displays from Fujitsu comply to at least Class I. Fujitsu guarantees
displays that are free of pixel faults, so that only subpixel faults may occur.
Examples:
A flat-screen monitor with a resolution of 1280 x 1024 has 1280 x 1024 = 1,310,720 pixels. Each
pixel consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), making a total of about 3.9 million subpixels.
According to ISO 9241‑ 3 (Class II), a maximum of 3 lit and 3 unlit pixels plus 7 lit or 13 unlit
subpixels, or a corresponding combination, may be faulty (1 lit subpixel counts as two unlit subpixels).
A flat-screen display with a resolution of 2560 x 1440 has 2560 x 1440 = 3686400 pixels. Each pixel
consists of three subpixels (red, green and blue), making a total of about 11,1 million subpixels.
According to ISO 9241-3 (Class I), a maximum of 2 lit and 2 unlit pixels plus 9 lit or 18 unlit subpixels,
or a corresponding combination, may be faulty (1 lit subpixel counts as two unlit subpixels). Because
Fujitsu supplies displays that are free of pixel faults, only subpixel faults enter into the evaluation.

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.
All 3 subpixels are lit/unlit. The result is a brighter or darker pixel.
Only one subpixel is lit/unlit. The result is a pixel with missing colours.
