Pixel defect policy BDL4251V
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry's most advanced manufacturing processes and
practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub-pixel defects on the PDP / TFT panels used in Plasma- & LCD- displays
are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees
that any Plasma- & LCD- displays with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired during the warranty period in line with
your local guarantee conditions.
This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines the acceptable defect level for the BDL4251V LCD screen. In
order to qualify for repair under warranty, the number of pixel defects must exceed a certain level which is given in the
reference table. If the LCD screen is within specification a warranty exchange / claim back will be refused. Additionally, because
some types or combinations of pixel defects are more noticeable than others, Philips sets even higher quality standards for those.
Pixels and Sub-pixels
A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three sub-pixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. Many pixels together
form an image. When all sub-pixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored sub-pixels together appear as a single white pixel. When
all are dark, the three colored sub-pixels together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark sub-pixels
appear as single pixels of other colors.
Types of Pixel Defects + Dot definition
Pixel and sub-pixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are three categories of pixel defects and several
types of sub-pixel defects within each category.
Dot definition = What is a defective “Dot” ?:
One or more defective, adjacent sub-pixel are defined as one “dot”. The no. of defective sub-pixels are not relevant to
define a defective dot. This means that a defective dot can consist of one, two or three defective sub-pixels which can
be dark or lit.
One dot = One Pixel; consists of three sub-pixels of Red; Green and Blue
Bright Dot Defects
Bright dot defects appear as pixels or sub-pixels that are always lit or "on". These are the examples of bright dot defects:
One lit red, green or blue sub-
pixel
Two adjacent lit sub-pixels:
- Red + Blue = Purple
- Red + Green = Yellow
- Green + Blue = Cyan (Light
Blue)
Three adjacent lit sub-
pixels
(one white dot)
