    3.4 Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel    
    Defect Policy
    Philips strives to deliver the highest quality 
    products. We use some of the industr y's most 
    advanced manufacturing processes and practice 
    stringent quality control. However, pixel or sub 
    pixel	defects	on	the	 TFT	LCD	panels	used	in	flat	
    panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No 
    manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will 
    be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees 
    that any monitor with an unacceptable number 
    of defects will be repaired or replaced under 
    warranty. This notice explains the different types 
    of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect 
    levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair 
    or replacement under warranty, the number of 
    pixel	defects	on	a	TFT	LCD	panel	must	exceed	
    these	acceptable	levels. 	For	example,	no	more	
    than	0.0004%	of	the	sub	pixels	on	a	20"	XGA	
    monitor	may	be	defective. 	Fur thermore,	Philips	
    sets even higher quality standards for cer tain 
    types or combinations of pixel defects that are 
    more noticeable than others. This policy is valid 
    worldwide.
    Pixels and Sub pixels 
    A	pixel,	or	picture	element, 	is	composed	of	three	
    sub pixels in the primar y 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 
    Pixel and sub pixel defects appear on the screen 
    in different ways. There are two categories of pixel 
    defects and several types of sub pixel defects 
    within each categor y. 
    Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear as 
    pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or 'on'. That 
    is, a bright dot is a sub-pixel that stands out on the 
    screen when the monitor displays a dark pattern. 
    There	are	the	types	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 pixel)
