What is the ATEAM Electronics policy on defective or stuck pixel on my LCD display? LCD Display Pixel Introduction
LCD displays are made up of a set number of pixels and each pixel is made from 3 sub-pixels – one Red, one Blue and one Green. Each sub-pixel has its own transistor, which makes manufacturing the glass substrate very complex.
Due to the nature of the manufacturing process, occasional defects can occur. Pixel defects or failures cannot be fixed or repaired and can happen at any stage in the LCD panel ATEAM Electronics. To regulate the acceptability of defects and to protect the end user, ISO have created a standard for manufacturers to follow. ISO 13406-2 recommends how many defaults are acceptable in a display before it should be replaced, within the terms & conditions of warranty. All reputable manufacturers conform to and support the ISO 13406-2 standard.
There are two types of pixel defects covered under ISO 13406-2:
- Bright Sub-Pixel: A sub-pixel is displayed as a small white dot on a black pattern.
- Dark Sub-Pixel: A sub-pixel is displayed as a small black dot on a white pattern.
Dead Pixel Warranty Policy
Native Resolution | Bright Sub-Pixel | Dark Sub-Pixel |
SXGA | 1280*1024 | ≤ 2 | ≤ 5 |
HD | 1366*768 | ≤ 2 | ≤ 5 |
HD+ | 1600*900 | ≤ 2 | ≤ 5 |
FHD | 1920*1080 | ≤ 2 | ≤ 5 |
WUXGA | 1920*1200 | ≤ 2 | ≤ 5 |

QHD | 2560*1440 | ≤ 2 | ≤ 5 |
