nformation on LCD screen
High-quality TFT displays are installed in
notebooks from Fujitsu. For technical reasons,
TFT monitors are manufactured for a specific
resolution. An optimal, clear picture can only
be ensured in the resolution intended for the
particular TFT monitor. A monitor resolution
which differs from the specification can result in
an unclear picture.
The expression “monitor resolution” is used to
describe the number of horizontal and vertical
pixels (“picture elements”) which make up the
monitor display. For example, “WUXGA” stands
for 1920 x 1200 pixels. Each pixel consists of
three so-called subpixels of the colours red,
green and blue. As a result, a WUXGA monitor
consists of 1920 x 1200 x 3 = 6,912,000
subpixels.

The screen resolution of the LCD monitor of
your notebook is optimally set at the factory.
Permanently unlit or lit pixels
The standard of production techniques today
cannot guarantee an absolutely fault-free
screen display. A few isolated constant lit or unlit
pixels may be present. The maximum permitted
number of pixels faults is stipulated in the strict
international standard ISO 13406-2 (Class II).
Example:
A 15” LCD screen monitor with a resolution
of 1280 x 800 has 1280 x 800 = 1,024,000
pixels. Each pixel consists of three subpixels
(red, green and blue), so there are almost 3
million subpixels in total. According to ISO
13406-2 (Class II), a maximum of 4 pixels and
5 subpixels may be defective, i.e. a total of 17
defective subpixels. That is approx. 0,0005 % of
the entire subpixel!
Background lighting
TFT monitors are operated with background
lighting. The luminosity of the background
lighting can decrease during the period of use
of the notebook. However, you can set the
brightness of your monitor individually.
