PIXEL DEFECTS ON LCDS (TFT-DISPLAYS) Active matrix LCDs (TFT) with a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixel (XGA), which are in turn composed of three sub-pixels each (red, green, blue), contain about 2.4 million addressable transistors. Because of this very high number of transistors and their extremely complex production process occasionally defective or incorrectly addressed pixels or subpixels may occur. There have been several attempts in the past to define the acceptable number of defective pixels.
