![]() Other manufacturers reject displays according to the number of total defects, the number of defects in a given group (e.g., one dead pixel or three stuck sub-pixels in a five-by-five pixel area), or other criteria. Displays meeting this standard are deemed Class I. Some manufacturers have a zero-tolerance policy with regard to LCD screens, rejecting all units found to have any number of (sub-)pixel defects. ![]() The number of faulty pixels tolerated before a screen is rejected, is dependent on the class that the manufacturer has given the display (although officially described by the ISO 13406-2 standard, not all manufacturers interpret this standard the same way, or follow it at all). ![]() ![]() In LCD manufacture, it is common for a display to be manufactured with several sub-pixel defects (each pixel is composed of three primary-colored sub-pixels). These pixels may only show up using certain applications, or they may be on all the time. Any given pixel will stay red, blue, or green and will not change when attempting to display an image. This is usually caused by a transistor that is getting power all the time (VA/IPS) or not getting any power (TN) and is therefore continuously allowing light at that point to pass through to the RGB layer. Stuck sub-pixel Ī stuck sub-pixel is a pixel that is always "on". Hardware manufacturers and distributors claim that TAB faults, as opposed to other physical defects found in an LCD, do not allow for repair. The horizontal failure runs from edge to edge the vertical failure runs from top-to-bottom. This causes a horizontal or vertical black line to appear on the display while the rest of the display would appear normal. If these connections were to fail, the effect would be that an entire row or column of pixels would fail to activate. TAB faults require the replacement of the LCD module itself. This failure is often caused by horizontally flexing the chassis (e.g., while wall-mounting or transporting a display face up/down) or simple failure of the adhesive holding the TAB against the glass. If an LCD is subjected to physical shock, this could cause one or more TAB connections to fail inside the display. TAB is one of several methods employed in the LCD-manufacturing process to electrically connect hundreds of signal paths going to the rows and columns of electrodes in layer 6 (the transparent electrode layer) in the LCD to the video integrated circuits (ICs) on the driver board that drives these electrodes. Tape automated bonding fault Ī tape automated bonding fault ( TAB fault) is caused by a connection failure from the TAB that connects the transparent electrode layers to the video driver board of an LCD. This allows all light to pass through to the RGB layer, creating a bright white pixel that is always on.Ī partial sub-pixel defect is a manufacturing defect in which the RGB film layer was not cut properly. Note: Must be viewed at full size.Ī bright dot defect or hot pixel is a group of three sub-pixels (one pixel) all of whose transistors are "off" for TN panels or stuck "on" for MVA and PVA panels. Hundreds of hot pixels appear in a 32-minute long exposure photograph taken in virtual darkness.
