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, specifica-
tions defines the minimum
distance between dark dots
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

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
