Pixel Statement
•
An image on a LCD or Plasma TV screen is created by
many small groups of dots known as pixels (which is
similar to the image in a newspaper). It also naturally
follows that higher panel resolutions contain more
pixels. To create a colour image, each pixel consists
of three tiny coloured dots (known as sub-pixels), one
each of red, green and blue. Each one of these dots
is precisely controlled by the electronics of the TV to
produce the picture. Whilst Panasonic maintains the
highest standards in manufacturing technology and
processes in the construction of these panels, there are
a number of allowable pixel/subpixel failures that still
allow the panel to be defined as a good panel. It is not
possible to guarantee absolutely no pixel loss.
