16 150X3M LCD Definition of Pixel Defects
Go to cover page
0. General
This section explainsthe different types of pixel defects and
defines acceptable defectlevels of each type. In order to qualify
for repair orreplacement under warranty, the number of pixel
defects on aTFT LCD panel must exceed these acceptable levels.
1. Definition of Pixels and Subpixels
A pixel,or picture element , is composed of three subpixels in the
primary colors ofred, green and blue. Many pixels together from
an image. Whenall subpixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored
subpixels together appearas a single white pixel. When all are
dark, the threecolored subpixels together appear as a single black
pixel. Other combinationsof lit and dark subpixels appear as
single pixels ofother colors.
2. Types of Pixel Defects
Pixel and subpixeldefects appear on the screen in different ways.
Bright dot defects
Bright dot defectsappear as pixels or subpixels that are always lit
or "On". Theseare the types of bright dot defects:.
One lit red, green or blue subpixel
Two adjacentlit subpixels:
- Red +Blue = Purple
- Red +Green = Yellow
- Green +Blue = Cyan (Light Blue)
Three adjacent litsubpixels
(One white pixel)
Black dot defects
Black dot defectsappear as pixels or subpixels that are always
dark or "Off". These are the types ofblack dot defects:
One dark subpixel
Two orthree adjacent dark subpixels
3. Pixel DefectTolerances
In order toqualify for repair or replacement due to pixel defects
during the warrantyperiod, a TFTLCD panel ina PHILIPS flat
panel monitor musthave pixel or subpixel defects exceeding the
tolerances listed inthe following tables.

Electrical instructions
0. General
When carry-out the electrical settings in many cases a video
signal must be applied to the monitor.A computer with :
- ATI VGA 1024 V6-1.04/PH BETA4 interface card
- PGA 1024 (4822 212 30916), Mach 8.
- PGA 1280 (4822 212 30917), Mach 32.
- ATI GPT-1600 (4822 397 10065), Mach 64 (up to 107kHz)
are used as the video signal source. The signal patterns are
selected from the "service test software" package, see user
guide 4822 727
19896 (ATI1024), or 4822 727 20273 (PGA1280), or
4822 727 21046 (GPT-1600).
0.1 With normal VGA card:
If not using theATI card during repair or alignment, The service
engineer also can use this service test software adapting with
normal standard VGA adaptor and using standard VGAmode
640 x 480, 31.5 kHz/60 Hz (only) as signal source.
0.2 AC/DC Measurement:
The measurements for AC waveform and DC figure is based on
1024 x 768 48kHz/60 Hz resolution mode with test pattern "32
gray scale".
Power input: 110V AC
1.General points
1.1 During the test and measuring, supply a distortion free AC mains
voltage to the apparatus via an isolated transformer with low
internal resistance.
1.2 All measurements mentioned hereafter are carried out at a
normal mains voltage (90 - 132 VAC for USA version, 195 -264
VAC for EUROPEAN version, or 90 - 264 VAC for the model with
full range power supply, unless otherwise stated.)
1.3 All voltages are to be measurement or applied with respect to
ground, unless otherwise stated. Note: don't use heat-sink as
ground.
1.4 The test has to be done on a complete set including LCD panel in
a room with temperature of 25 +/- 5 degree C.
1.5 All values mentioned in these test instruction are only applicable
of a well aligned apparatus, with correct signal.
1.6 The letters symbols (B) and (S) placed behind the test instruction
denotes
(B): carried out 100% inspection at assembly line
(S): carried out test by sampling
1.7 The white balance (color temperature), has to be tested in
subdued lighted room.
1.8 Repetitive power on/off cycle are allowed except it should be
avoided within 6 sec.
2. Input signal
2.1 Signal type
Video : 0.7 Vp-p linear, positive polarity
Sync. : TTL level, separate, positive ornegative polarity
Signal source: patterngenerator format as attachment.
(table 1 to14) Reference generator : CHROMA2200 or 2250

4. Display Adjustment
4.1Input signals check
In factory mode, use 64 gray level and set the R,G,B sub gain to
100%.
4.2 Display quality test
Use timing mode as described in 2.2, and use the POPO (pixel on
pixel off) pattern to adjust the clock until no stripe and adjust the
phase until clear picture. Check all pre-setting 14 modes.
4.3 Check of WHITE-D (B)
Apply a 48kHz/60Hz signal with white pattern, set brightness
control at 100%, and contrast control at 50%. Adjust the R, G, B
sub_gain, for the screen center, the 1931 CIE chromaticity (X, Y)
co-ordinates shall be;

Use Minolta CA-110 for color coordinates and luminance check.
Luminance; 250 Nits (LG panel) in the center of the screen.
4.4 Check the digital interface
Set the delay time tobe 6 nsec.
Check the 64 gray level color poor & noise condition.
3. AC Adaptor
3.1Setup theAC I/P at 90VAC, and OutputDC loading at 3.8 Amp,
The DC output voltage is12+- 0.6 VDC
