Three adjacent lit sub pixels (one white pixel).
Note
A red or blue bright dot must be more than 50
percent brighter than neighboring dots while
a green bright dot is 30 percent brighter than
neighboring dots.
Black Dot Defects
Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub pixels
that are always dark or 'off'. That is, a dark dot is
a sub-pixel that stands out on the screen when
the Display displays a light pattern. These are the
types of black dot defects.
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the
same type that are near to one another may be
more noticeable, Philips also specifies tolerances
for the proximity of pixel defects.
Pixel Defect Tolerances
In order to qualify for repair or replacement
due to pixel defects during the warranty period,
a TFT Display panel in a Philips flat panel Display
must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding
the tolerances listed in the following tables.
