13. Pixel defects on screens

For active matrix TFTs with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, each of which consist of three sub-pixels (red, green, blue), there are a total of approx. 6,2 million control transistors in use. Due to this 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. When handling warranty issues for all of its display products, MEDION therefore adheres to the strict and transparent requirements of the standard ISO 9241-307, Class II; which has been briefly summarised below.

The ISO standard ISO 9241-307 defines, amongst other things, the generally applicable guidelines relating to pixel defects. Pixel defects are categorised into four fault classes and three defect types. Every individual pixel consists of three sub-pixels, each of which is assigned a basic colour (red, green, blue).

Pixel fault class	Defect type 1Continuously lit pixel	Defect type 2Continuously blackpixel	Defect type 3Defect sub-pixellit black
0	0	0	0
I	1	1	2	1
			1	3
			0	5
II 2 2 5				0
			5-n*	2xn*
			0	10
III 5 15 50				0
			50-n*	2xn*
			0	100
IV	50	150	500	0
			500-n*	2xn*
			0	1000

n^*=1,5
The table describes the maximum number of pixel failures allowed on the screen, before a warranty claim arises. A warranty claim may be applicable if the above number of defects in a category is exceeded.
