When your LCD display has broken, needs replaced or simply needs a technology upgrade, and you have design/equipment elements to consider, you will want to look for a replacement part instead of replacing the unit.Problems may arise when you are sourcing the new panel from your original manufacturer.For example, by the time your panel has degraded, your LCD may be end of life, making it difficult to source;original manufacturers may be charging premium prices for their replacementLCD parts.AGDisplays offers a drop in replacement service for customers who need to replace an LCD or LCD component when their original panel/part is unavailable;this service is also for customers who are looking for a cost effective, suitable replacement or upgrade to their existing LCD. AGDisplays offers availability of standard or custom high-quality LCDs of virtually all shapes and sizes.
Replacing or upgrading the LCD component of your equipment sounds intimidating. It is rather simple if you begin your search with AGDisplays. By simply providing us with your panel part number, general specifications (if possible) and any other upgrade requirements or desires that you might have, we source these products for you or we can source an equivalent replacement, as desired. Using a replacement LCD does not compromise on quality and compatibility;we ensure functionality and performance are top priority because we know how critical the LCD interface is for your application.
You may receive notifications from your original equipment manufacturer about your LCD panel. There are a couple of announcements to pay attention to. The most important two are the end of life (EOL) announcement and the end of sale date. The end of life announcement will officialize a future cease production date for the indicated part number. It may also indicate the end of sale date, which is the last date customers are able to order the product through the manufacturer. After this date, the product will no longer be for sale. Typically end of life announcements come six to twelve months before the last time buy date. A few months later is when your last time buy will ship.
If you decide by this point that your equipment is well suited to use the LCD replacement, you may want to grab these panels when they get into the last time buy phase. If you find yourself ready to upgrade after EOL and last time buys have passed, don’t fret.A drop in replacement unit extends the lifecycle of your unit in the case of EOL or unavailability of original parts. Products are matched for compatible integration without compromising quality. AGDisplays offers a full line of compatible replacement industrial LCD display systems.

There are many signs an LCD will give the user to indicate that it may be due for replacement or upgrade. Even users who are not LCD experts will be able to tell when it is time to replace.
Outwardly, your LCD will show physical signs of damage such as a cracked or scratched, foggy or contaminated screen.Mostly, these damages are quickly noticeable to the naked eye and the first obvious sign that your panel may need a replacement. These are clear indications that the outside of your LCD has been damaged and is in need of evaluation or replacement. The application environment will determine the urgency in which you’ll want to replace the LCD. Cracks in the LCD may leave the LCD vulnerable to contamination and dust, which in turn can extend damage and/or decrease visual readability of the display.
Most LED technology estimate LED lifetimes to be upwards of 100,000 hours of useful life. This works out to be about six hours of usage a day—and 45 years of service, whew! So one can assume that LCD components will fail before the LED backlighting system will degrade. However, degradation does happen with long term usage. If your LCD is looking less bright than it should be, it is possible that a component in the display’s backlighting system needs replaced or upgraded.
LCDs that are broken internally may only show a black screen, a white screen, or even show no data when turned on. Other indications will be white/grey/black discoloration spots (called mura) of the display itself when it is turned on, regardless of the data/color that is shown on screen.
Another indication of a dying LCD aredamaged pixels. If you notice a small speck of white or black on your screen that does not go away, even as the screen changes, you may have a damaged pixel or two. There are a few different types of pixel defects, hot, stuck and dead pixels. Hot pixels present themselves as always ‘on,’ they always appear white in color. Dead pixels are always ‘off,’ and look black at all times. Now a stuck pixel is either stuck ‘on’ or ‘off’ so they may appear the same as a hot or dead pixel. These (sometimes) are solved by switching from bright to dark colored screens quickly to unstick these. However, this isn’t a reliable treatment for stuck pixels.
If you’ve notice defective pixels on your LCD screen, do not panic! Some manufacturers have a standard in which it allows a certain amount of pixels in production. Overall, if the LCD in question has an increased rebellion of pixels, whether hot, dead or stuck, the LCD may be of low quality or the pixels are going bad.
Sometimes white, black or multi colored streaks appear running horizontally or vertically along the display. If this is happening on every screen, this is a likely sign that something is wrong inside the LCD.
Signs of LCD degradation include those missing pixels, the dimming of screen brightness over time, and even the loss of color and contrast in a display. If you need more assurance the LCD is the problem, consult AGDisplays to discuss our replacement options.
There’re more than 300 procedures to produce TFT LCD. The most advanced LCD, in which the array and cell process are highly automatic. Technically, every step in the process can lead to defects, and most of the defects have been eliminated through the development of TFT LCD technology.
For the first two situations, that’s because the circuit on the TFT and CF controlling that defective pixel point is shorted or broken. While the third situation is caused by damaged color pixel.
In LCD, newton’s rings may occur on screen when two glass substrate haven’t been sealed well, so that one of the glass may form a convex lens and lead to light interference.
In 1991, a business unit called Samsung Display was formed to produce the panels used in products made by its parent company, Samsung Electronics. Afterward, it was a leading supplier of LCD panels not just for Samsung Electronics but for other companies in the industry as well.
The business received a stay of execution when the pandemic led to a global surge in demand for consumer electronics, but that demand is now declining, and projections aren"t good for LCD panel revenue.
Add to that the fact that emerging technologies like QD-OLED are the future for TV and monitors, and the case for keeping Samsung Display"s LCD business going becomes a hard one to make.
Samsung Display will now focus heavily on OLED and quantum dot. Most of the employees working in the LCD business will move to quantum dot, the publication claims.
Even if there isn"t a statement about a change in direction, the writing has been on the wall for Samsung"s LCD business. Unless something radical changes, it"s more a question of when than if at this point.

Chinese display manufacturer Beijing Oriental Electronics (BOE) could lose out on 30 million display orders for the upcoming iPhone 14 after it reportedly altered the design of the iPhone 13’s display to increase yield rate, or the production of non-defective products, according to a report from The Elec (via 9to5Mac).
According to MacRumors, BOE previously only manufactured screens for refurbished iPhones. Apple later hired the company to supply OLED displays for the new iPhone 12 in 2020, but its first batch of panels failed to pass Apple’s rigorous quality control tests. Since the beginning of this year, BOE’s output has also been affected by a display driver chip shortage.
NDSsi uses only “Grade A” LCD panels in all of its products, while many competitors use “Grade B” panels in order to save cost, and as a result compromise quality. In medical applications, it is important not to compromise the quality of the displayed image since it is often the basis for making clinical decisions. The following tables and images show the differences between “Grade A” and “Grade B” LCD panels in terms of different types of allowable defects.
There are essentially two different types of pixel defects, bright (stuck pixels) and dark (dead pixels).The table and images below show the differences between Grade A and Grade B LCD panels in terms of allowable pixel defects.
Liquid crystal displays (LCDs) are the most widely used display technology. Their applications cover TV, mobile phone, appliances, automotive, smart home, industrial meters, consumer electronics, POS, marine, aerospace, military etc. LCD screen display problem can occur for several reasons.
Effect of environmental conditions on the LCD assembly. Environmental conditions include both the effects of temperature and humidity, and cyclic loading.
Effect of manufacturing process. With the development of LCD for more than 40 years and the modern manufacturing equipment, this kind if defects are getting rear.
Common failures seen in LCDs are a decrease in screen contrast, non-functioning pixels or the whole display, and broken glass. Different kinds of LCD display problem need to have different kinds of fix methods or make the decision not worthwhile to repair.
Broken glassIf you accidently drop the LCD and you find it broken on the surface but the display still works. You might just break the touch panel; you can find a repair house or find a youtube video to replace the touch panel. If you find the display not showing, especially you find the fluid leaking out. You need to reply the whole display modules.
Dim LCD displayLCD can’t emit light itself. It uses backlight. Normally, the backlight is not fully driven, you can increase the LED backlight to make a dim LCD display brighter. But if you LCD display has been used for a long time, it is possible that the LED backlight has to be the end of life (not brightness enough) if you turn on 100% backlight brightness. In that case to fix LCD screen, you have to find a way to change the backlight. For some display, it is an easy job but it can be difficult for other displays depending on the manufacturing process.
LCD has white screen – If a LCD has a white screen which means the backlight is good. Simply check your signal input sources which are the most causes. It can also be caused by the display totally damaged by ESD or excess heat, shock which make the LCD controller broken or the connection failure which has to be repaired by professionals.
Blur ImagesAs the LCD images are made of RGB pixels, the screen shouldn’t be blur like old CRT displays. If you do see blur images, they might be caused by two reasons. 1) LCD has certain response time, if you are playing games or watch fast action movies, some old LCD displays can have image delays. 2) The surface of the LCD is made of a layer of plastic film with maximum hardness of 3H. If you clean the surface often or use the wrong detergent or solvent which cause the surface damage. To fix damage on LED screen it’s need to be changed with professionals.

Summary:LCD Manufacturing is an ever-growing industrial segment with big demands on quality and quantity. Manufacturers can greatly benefit from the Ultra-Low Pressure Fuji Prescale Film as a means of Quality Assurance and increased manufacturing yield.
With the ever-increasing number of LCD devices, the market needs also increase. There are over 5 billion cell phones in use world-wide. Add to it the number of laptops, LCD TVs, Sat-Navs, smart cars etc. and it would not be an overstatement to say that there"s at least two LCD panels per each person on Earth, and it keeps on growing.
LCD manufacturers are pressed to launch new LCD panel models with higher resolution, higher contrast, lighter, tougher, touch-sensitive, multi-touch sensitive, cheaper, more reliable... the list goes on.
In order for LCD manufacturers to keep track with the growing demand for high-quality LCD panels, there is a constant pursuit of improving the manufacturing process.
One of the key LCD panel requirements is ideally flat surface so that contrast and color-consistency are as high as possible. To achieve this, manufacturers rely on precision polishing machines that use even tactile pressure and polishing solvents to achieve high-grade panel shine for each individual LCD panel.
The polishing process relies on close to perfect vertical alignment of the polishing head, stage and LCD panel itself. Small discrepancies of this alignment will result in un-even pressure distribution that can lead to surface chipping of glass shavings. When the polarizing plate is mounted to a panel with glass shavings, the quality of the LCD assembly will be compromised because of the trapped air bubbles around these glass shavings.
The Prescale film is placed between the polishing unit and the panel adsorption stage and the nominal pressure is applied. This develops the Fuji Prescale film and the read-outs can be used to directly determine the plate alignment.
The image on the left is from a defective polishing machine where the plates are not in alignment. The tactile pressure is out of balance to such extent that there is barely any pressure exerted on almost 2/3 of the tactile surface. Such misalignment will cause chipping and air bubbles will be an inevitable result.
Using the Fuji Prescale film, the LCD manufacturers can increase overal quality and yield by quickly and easily testing polishing machines for alignment. Thanks to the Fuji Prescale film"s on-the-spot readouts, technicians can run maintenance checks often and ensure a consistent manufacturing quality. This will in turn result in reliable products and optimally utilized manufacturing time.
According to real LCD manufacturing conditions, the number of normal LCD panels exceeds greatly the number of defective LCD panels. Therefore, the normal PRs greatly outnumber the defective PRs. As a result, the collected data set for training would be imbalanced if a two-class classification approach is adopted, the SVM by Vapnik [4] for example, the class imbalance problem occurs.
In practice, in addition to the class imbalance problem, the LCD defect detection also suffers from another critical problem resulting from the absence of negative information. To facilitate the following problem description, the normal PR class and the defective PR class are defined as the positive class and negative class, respectively.
The main difference between a normal PR and a defective PR is that their appearances are apparently different, as can be observed from Figure 4. The color (or gray level) of a normal PR is nearly uniform, implying that the variation of the gray-level distribution of normal PRs is very small. On the contrary, the surfaces of defective PR not only contain various kinds of textures, but also vary greatly in color, implying that the variation of the true distribution for negative class in the data space is very large. Collecting a set of positive training data that can represent the true distribution of positive class is easy, because: (1) the variation of positive-class distribution is very small; and (2) most of the LCD panels are normal (the number of normal PRs is considerably large). Therefore, the positive class can be well-sampled during the data collection stage in real practice. However, representative defective PRs are difficult to obtain in practice for several reasons. For example, there are numerous types of defects in array process, more than 10 types at least. However, not all the defects would occur frequently. Some of the defects seldom appear, for example the defect caused by abnormal photo-resist coating (APRC). The defect “APRC” seldom occurs, because equipment/process engineers maintain the coating machines periodically. Even so, the coating machines might still break down occasionally. As a result, the number of available images containing the APRC defects is quite limited. But, the APRC defect has a large variation in color and texture. Unfortunately, limited APRC examples cannot stand for all kinds of APRC defects. Therefore, the collected negative training data are most likely under-sampled. Here, the “under-sampled” means that the collected negative training set cannot represent the true negative-class distribution in the data space, which is the problem of absence of negative information. Due to this problem, numerous false positive (i.e., missing defects) will be produced if a two-class classification approach (e.g., a binary SVM) is applied to the LCD defect detection, which has been evidenced by the results reported in [7]. Compared with two-class classification approach, novelty detection approach is a better choice.
Different defect images contain different numbers of defective pixel regions (PRs). The normal and defective PRs are bounded with blue and red rectangles, respectively.
Novelty detection is one-class classification [10,35], which is to solve the conventional two-class classification problems where one of the two classes is under-sampled, or only the data of one single class can be available for training [5,6,9–11,35–40]. As analyzed above, for the LCD defect detection application, the normal PRs can be well-sampled, while the defective PRs are in general undersampled. Therefore, the LCD defect detection can be treated as a typical novelty detection problem. Accordingly, one-class classification is a better solution.
To summarize, it can be seen that the LCD defect detection suffers from two problems simultaneously: one is the class imbalance problem, and the other is the problem of the absence of negative information. For the first problem, there have been many sophisticated solutions, including sampling, cost-sensitive learning, SVM-based, and one-class learning approaches. However, the only solution to the second problem is the novelty detection approach (i.e., one-class classification approach). Therefore, one-class classification would be a more appropriate approach to the LCD defect detection application.
One-class classifiers (also called novelty detectors) are to find a compact description for a class (usually being referred to target class). So, a one-class classifier is trained on the target class alone. In a testing stage, any points that do not belong to this description are considered as outliers. In this paper the normal PRs are treated as target data, while defective PRs are treated as outliers.
There are several approaches for one-class classification, such as density approach (e.g., Gaussian mixture model [5]), boundary approach (e.g., SVDD [9] and one-class SVM [40]), neural network approach [6,36], and reconstruction-based approach (e.g., the kernel principal component analysis for novelty detection [35]). It has been proven in [9] that when a Gaussian kernel is used, the SVDD proposed by Tax and Duin [9] is identical to the one-class SVM proposed by Schölkopf et al. [40]. This paper focuses on the SVDD since it has been applied to the same application in the works of [7] and [10], and has shown to be effective in detecting defective PRs. However, as discussed in Section 1, generalization performance of SVDD is limited. Therefore, the intent of this paper is on proposing a method to improve generalization performance of SVDD, and applying the improved SVDD to the LCD defect detection treated as a novelty detection problem. The improved SVDD is called quasiconformal kernel SVDD (QK-SVDD). Note that the QK-SVDD and SVDD are not two independent classifiers. To obtain QK-SVDD, one has to train an SVDD first, which will be introduced in Section 2.4. In the following part of the paper, we first introduce the defect detection scheme, and then derive the proposed method in details.
That irksome dot is a dead pixel, one defective electronic pinpoint of light among the myriad that make up the liquid crystal displays in laptop screens, flat-panel monitors and flat-panel TVs.
To keep costs down, manufacturers don’t scrap screens that meet a minimum standard, usually one or two defective pixels for a 15-inch screen. But to a consumers’ eye, “bad is bad,” Semenza said.
In the weeks before he bought his current Apple laptop, Slade said he went through three others, all with at least one bad pixel out of the box. The first he returned because of a defective hard drive, applying the credit to a more expensive model. When the second turned out to have two bad pixels, the Apple Store where he bought it wouldn’t exchange it until Slade, as he put it, “threw a fit.” The store manager agreed to an exchange, stipulating that it would be final, even if the new unit had a bad pixel, Slade said. It did.
After selling that laptop, Slade bought a fourth on Apple’s Web site — with a less noticeable but still defective pixel in the middle of the screen. Considering the effort it took to exchange a machine with two dead pixels, he didn’t attempt a return. But after a reporter queried Apple about Slade’s experience, the company contacted him and arranged for his monitor to be repaired or replaced.
The quality of LCDs in consumer electronics can fluctuate with the market, Jacobs said. When screens are plentiful, manufacturers can be pickier, but when supply is tight, they may relax their standards. “They’d rather sell 100,000 more laptops even if it means more returns,” he said.
Pehrson, 36, an Oakland, Calif., Web consultant, has developed some novel strategies for masking the beacon-like red dot on his new 17-inch Sony flat-panel computer monitor. He tries to position letters or a scroll bar over the offending spot. “You have to phase it out somehow, or you’ll end up staring at it,” he said.
Slade’s string of bad pixels aside, manufacturing quality is steadily rising, Semenza said. But so are expectations, especially as more LCD TVs are sold. “If you are sitting there watching TV on your $3,000 screen, you are going to focus on that bad pixel in the corner,” he said.
Circuit City, for example, will exchange any product within its return period, 30 days for TVs and 14 for computers and monitors, said spokesman Jim Babb. “We don’t have a specific pixel policy,” he said. “If the customer feels it’s defective and brings it back within the return period, we will exchange it for the exact same product.” Refunds may incur a 15 percent “restocking fee.”
An LCD panel consists of numerous pixels. Some of the pixels may not operate properly, They are referred to as defective pixels or missing dots. It is difficult to manufacture a panel with zero defects using current LCD panel manufacturing technology. These defective pixels are not symptoms of an LCD malfunction or an initial failure. The defective pixels are usually classified into four types;white spots, bright spots, black spots and dark spots.
Accidental Damage is any damage due to an unintentional act that is not the direct result of a manufacturing defect or failure, and is therefore not covered under the standard warranty of the LCD-Monitor. Such damage is most often the result of a drop or an impact to the LCD screen or any other part of the product which may render the device.
