today's high-quality flat panel displays deliver crisp, clear visual quality at a reasonable price. Even so, some LCD monitors may harbor tiny this paper. Why is this important to me? Doing business with HP gives you the advantage of dealing with a company that strives to consistently deliver - HP L2208w | Understanding pixel defects in TFT flat panel monitors - Page 3
natural state. When used in computer displays, this material is enclosed between two pieces of glass (in a flat panel display) and an image is generated by controlling the alignment of the LC molecules electrically, causing them to effectively act as "light valves"-letting light either pass through - HP L2208w | Understanding pixel defects in TFT flat panel monitors - Page 4
state of the sub-pixel while the panel drivers take care of the other rows and columns of the display. This results in a great improvement in the contrast and response time possible with LCD technology, and permits the manufacture of largesize, high-resolution displays which rival any other display - HP L2208w | Understanding pixel defects in TFT flat panel monitors - Page 5
screen green panels not have any complete pixel defects (i.e., all three sub-pixels defective), HP customers are not likely to encounter this situation. To locate defective sub-pixels, the monitor should be viewed under normal operating conditions, in normal operating mode at a supported resolution - HP L2208w | Understanding pixel defects in TFT flat panel monitors - Page 6
the HP monitor. As a result of these tight specifications, the majority of all HP monitors are shipping with no pixel defects at all (per HP's defects in flat panel monitors: Class 0 panels are completely defect-free, including no full pixel or sub-pixel defects. Class 1 panels permit any - HP L2208w | Understanding pixel defects in TFT flat panel monitors - Page 7
defects, and no sub-pixel defects spaced closer than 15 mm, with a maximum of five total sub-pixel defects. Figure 2. Pixel fault definitions. 7 - HP L2208w | Understanding pixel defects in TFT flat panel monitors - Page 8
: When the unit lights, variation/non-uniformity (splotchiness) appears light (white) with the display and might vary in size. Newton ring: A "rainbow" effect caused by non-uniform cell thickness. Pixel: A picture element made up of three primary color sub-pixels (red, green, and blue), which - HP L2208w | Understanding pixel defects in TFT flat panel monitors - Page 9
operation out of the box. Engineering excellence: HP quality does not stop at the factory door. Our service and engineering teams continue to support each unit throughout its lifecycle.
