[. . . ] 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. But this can be difficult and varies widely between different manufacturers.
