8.4. 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

term for “unevenness.” It is used to describe an irregular pattern or area in which uneven screen uniformity appears under certain conditions. Mura is a

is an industry- wide phenomenon and Mura is not repairable. It is also not covered by our warranty terms.
Mura has been around since the introduction of LCD technology and with screens getting bigger and in operation 24/7, many displays are running in low
light conditions. This all adds to the possibility of Mura affecting displays.
HOW TO SPOT MURA
There are many symptoms of Mura and also multiple causes. Several of these are listed below:
Impurities or foreign particles in the crystal matrix
Uneven distribution of LCD matrix during manufacturing
Non-uniform luminance distribution of the backlight
Panel assembly induced stress
Flaws within the LCD cells
Thermal induced stress – high temperature operation over long periods of time
HOW TO AVOID MURA
Although we can not guarantee the complete eradication of Mura every time, in general the appearance of Mura can be minimized by these methods:
Lower the backlight brightness
Use a screen saver
Reduce the ambient temperature around the unit
