170B6 LCD Philips Pixel Defect Policy
Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy
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 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 15" XGA
monitor may be defective. Furthermore, Philips sets even
higher quality standards for certain 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 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
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 category. Bright dot
defects appear as pixels or sub pixels that are always lit or
'on'. These 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)
Black Dot Defects Black dot defects appear as pixels or sub
pixels that are always dark or 'off'. These are the types of black
dot defects:
One dark sub pixel Two or three adjacent dark sub pixels
Proximity of Pixel Defects
Because pixel and sub pixels defects of the same type that are
near to one another may be more , 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 LCD panel in a Philips flat panel
monitor must have pixel or sub pixel defects exceeding the
tolerances listed in the following tables.
Note:
* 1 or 2 adjacent sub pixel defects = 1 dot defect
All Philips monitors are ISO13406-2 Compliant

There is no Hardware DDC (DDC IC) anymore. Main EEPROM stores
all factory settings and DDC data (EDID code) which is also called
Software DDC. The following section describes the connection and
procedure for Software DDC application. The main EEPROM can be re-
programmed by enabling '' factory memory data write'' function on the
DDC program (EDID46.EXE).
Initialize alignment box
In order to avoid that monitor entering power saving mode due
to sync will cut off by alignment box, it is necessary to initialize
alignment box before running programming software
(EDID46.EXE). Following steps show you the procedures and
connection.
Step 1: Supply 8-12V DC power source to the Alignment box by
plugging a DC power cord .
Step 2: Connecting printer cable and D-Sub cable of monitor as Fig. 4
