22. European EN ISO 9241-307 Class II Standard Due to the very high number of transistors and the associated extremely complex manufacturing processes used, occasionally one or more pixels can fail or become incorrectly controlled. In the past, there were a number of approaches for defining the permitted number of pixel defects. However, these approaches were mostly very complicated and varied from one manufacturer to the next.
Pixel defect types: • Type 1: permanently illuminated pixel (bright, white dot) even when not activated. A white pixel occurs due to the illumination of all three sub-pixels. • Type 2: non-illuminated pixel (dark, black dot) even when activated. • Type 3: abnormal or faulty red, green or blue sub-pixel (e.g.
