TFT/LCD Display Standards (ISO13406-2)

The screen on TFT displays is made up of thousands of tiny pixels. A 10" flat-screen with a resolution of 1024 x 768 for example has 786423 pixels. Each pixel comprises three sub-pixels (red, green and blue) so on the 10" above, there are almost 2.4 million dots in total. Behind each pixel is a transistor. When a transistor fails it manifests itself as a bright, dark or coloured dot on the screen that stands out from the rest. It is common for a monitor to have several dead pixels and still be classified as fully functional. TFT monitors are graded in Classes I to IV - which denote the number of failed transistors on screen at any time. This is known in the industry as ALLOWABLE DEFECT. Class I monitors are without allowable defect and are used for military, Hospital or other Critical applications - Class II is the common class for consumer equipment, Which could have up to 5 failed transistors on screen, before it can be classed as faulty. The other classes allow more transistor failure.

All the TFT/LCD displays sold buy us are Class II.
