hp L1815 LCD Monitor LCD Quality Standards and Pixel Policy

LCD Quality Standards and Pixel Policy

HP uses selected high quality panels for the manufacture of its LCD monitors. Nevertheless, the display may have a few cosmetic imperfections that appear as small dark or bright spots. This is not specific to HP but linked to the current state of the art of LCD manufacturing.

In fact, an LCD screen is made of millions of small "sub-pixels" that are each turned on or off by a transistor and it is extremely difficult to manufacture millions of perfect transistors on a large surface. Therefore, no manufacturer can currently guarantee 100% defectfree panels at a reasonable price.

How visible a defect is depends on its nature and location. Each pixel is made up of one red, one green and one blue sub-pixel.

• A defect in a sub-pixel is not very visible, and can often only be perceived against specific backgrounds.

• Adjacent sub-pixel defects are more visible than "geographically dispersed" defects.

• A full-pixel defect (all three R/G/B sub-pixels always on or always off) is quite visible.

HP does not accept any full-pixel defects upon shipment. The vast majority of HP monitors do not have visible imperfections. On the other hand, HP is obliged - for the reasons outlined before - to accept the possibility of a few sub-pixel defects.

HP has established clear standards for the maximum number of imperfections per panel that can be tolerated. Your display has been checked to comply with these standards.

If you are interested in the technicalities you can find the details of HP's pixel policy below.

Details of HP’s Pixel Policy

To identify defective pixels, the monitor shall be viewed under normal operating conditions, preferably in its native resolution, and from a normal viewing distance of at least 50 cm (16 in.)

hp L1815 LCD Monitor

LCD Quality Standards and Pixel Policy

Under these conditions the HP L1815 monitor shall not show more than (whichever of the following limits is reached first):

• a total of 6 sub-pixel defects (of whatever nature) or

• 4 defective red sub-pixels or

• 4 defective green sub-pixels or

• 4 defective blue sub-pixels or

• 1 pixel with two adjacent sub-pixel defects within a radius of 2.5 mm or

• 2 pixels located more than 2.5 mm from each other and that each have two adjacent defective sub-pixels.

TCO '99

Congratulations! You have just purchased a TCO’95 or TCO'99 approved and labelled product! Your choice has provided you with a product developed for professional use. Your purchase has also contributed to reducing the burden on the environment and also to the further development of environmentally adapted electronics products.

This product meets the requirements for the TCO’95 or TCO'99 scheme which provides for an international environmental and quality labelling of personal computers. The labelling scheme was developed as a joint effort by the TCO (The Swedish Confederation of Professional Employees), Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation), Statens Energimyndighet (The Swedish National Energy Administration) and SEMKO AB.

The requirements cover a wide range of issues: environment, ergonomics, usability, reduction of electric and magnetic fields, energy consumption and electrical safety.

Why do we have environmentally labeled computers?

In many countries, environmental labelling has become an established method for encouraging the adaptation of goods and services to the environment. The main problem, as far as computers and other electronics equipment are concerned, is that environmentally harmful substances are used both in the products and during their manufacture. Since it is not so far possible to satisfactorily recycle the majority of electronics equipment, most of these potentially damaging substances sooner or later enter nature. There are also other characteristics of a computer, such as energy consumption levels, that are important from the viewpoints of both the work (internal) and natural (external) environments. Since all methods of electricity generation have a negative effect on the environment (e.g. acidic and climate-influencing emissions, radioactive waste), it is vital to save energy. Electronics equipment in offices is often left running continuously and thereby consumes a lot of energy.

What does the environmental labeling involve?

The environmental demands has been developed by Svenska Naturskyddsforeningen (The Swedish Society for Nature Conservation). These demands impose restrictions on the presence and use of heavy metals, brominated and chlorinated flame retardants, CFCs (freons) and chlorinated solvents, among other things. The product must be prepared for recycling and the manufacturer is obliged to have an environmental policy which must be adhered to in each country where the company implements its operational policy.

hp L1815 LCD Monitor Regulatory Information

The energy requirements include a demand that the computer and/or display, after a certain period of inactivity, shall reduce its power consumption to a lower level in one or more stages. The length of time to reactivate the computer shall be reasonable for the user. Below you will find a brief summary of the environmental requirements met by this product. The complete environmental criteria document may be ordered from: TCO Development SE-114 94 Stockholm, Sweden

Fax: +46 8 782 92 07 Email (Internet): development@tco.se Current information regarding TCO'99 approved and labelled products may also be obtained via the Internet, using the address: http://www.tco-info.com/

Environmental requirements

Flame retardants:

Flame retardants are present in printed circuit boards, cables, wires, casings and housings. Their purpose is to prevent, or at least to delay the spread of fire. Up to 30% of the plastic in a computer casing can consist of flame retardant substances. Most flame retardants contain bromine or chloride, and those flame retardants are chemically related to another group of environmental toxins, PCBs. Both the flame retardants containing bromine or chloride and the PCBs are suspected of giving rise to severe health effects, including reproductive damage in fish-eating birds and mammals, due to the bio-accumulative* processes. Flame retardants have been found in human blood and researchers fear that disturbances in foetus development may occur.

The relevant TCO´95 and TCO'99 demand require that plastic components weighing more than 25 grams must not contain flame retardants with organically bound bromine or chlorine. Flame retardants are allowed in the printed circuit boards since no substitutes are available.

Cadmium:**

Cadmium is present in rechargeable batteries and in the colour-generating layers of certain computer displays. Cadmium damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of cadmium. The colour-generating layers of display screens must not contain any cadmium.

hp L1815 LCD Monitor

Regulatory Information

The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries, the colour-generating layers of display screens and the electrical or electronics components must not contain any cadmium.

Mercury:**

Mercury is sometimes found in batteries, relays and switches. It damages the nervous system and is toxic in high doses.

TCO'95 requirement states that batteries may not contain more than 25 ppm (parts per million) of mercury. The relevant TCO'99 requirement states that batteries may not contain any mercury.

Both TCO´95 and TCO´99 also demand that mercury is not present in any of the electrical or electronics components associated with the labelled unit. There is however one exception. Mercury is, for the time being, permitted in the back light system of flat panel monitors as there today is no commercially available alternative. TCO aims on removing this exception when a mercury free alternative is available.

CFCs (freons):

The relevant TCO’95 and TCO'99 requirement state that neither CFCs nor HCFCs may be used during the manufacture and assembly of the product. CFCs (freons) are sometimes used for washing printed circuit boards. CFCs break down ozone and thereby damage the ozone layer in the stratosphere, causing increased reception on earth of ultraviolet light with e.g. increased risks of skin cancer (malignant melanoma) as a consequence.

Lead:**

Lead can be found in picture tubes, display screens, solders and capacitors. Lead damages the nervous system and in higher doses, causes lead poisoning. The relevant TCO’95 and TCO´99 requirement permit the inclusion of lead since no replacement has yet been developed.

* Bio-accumulative is defined as substances which accumulate within living organisms.

** Lead, Cadmium and Mercury are heavy metals which are Bio-accumulative.
