Which fault class belong the panels used
in LCD monitors to? All Akyga LCD monitors apply only
flat panels in accordance to the fault class II defined by the
ISO 13406-2 standard.
What does the ISO 13406-2 standard concerning pixel faults in
LCD screen panels define?
This standard defines the type and quantity of possibly appearing
pixel faults per 1 million pixels.
The norm distinguishes the TFT LCD panels into classes determining
the quantity and kind of matrix defects.
These defects can but not must occur in particular TFT panel.
Their quantity and position are the basis for defining of warranty
conditions for LCD monitors.
The values indicated below are maximal values for each class.

The particular fault types stand for:
Type 1 - completely white pixel appear
Type 2 - completely black pixel
Type 3 - subpixel (red, green, blue ore no pixel)
If faults occur side by side on a field of
5 in 5 pixels there applies following additional norm:

*A cluster is a field of 5 in 5 pixels.
How do the faults look like on the panel?
Below is demonstrated a fragment of panel together with fault
examples:
One (full) pixel consists of three subpixels in red, green and
blue colour.
Each subpixel is operated by one transistor.
How to calculate the permissible number of
faults for a monitor?
The number of faults can be calculated from an appropriate proportion
(number of faults = number of faults according to the norm
x number of pixels / 1 000 000) always adjusting upward.
Below are presented calculations for class II panels. This is
to notice that the resolution in the chart below is not the actually
used resolution but so called natural resolution - this is a resolution,
that results of the real number of pixel on the screen.
