Q: Will the LCD screen resistant scratches? A: A protective coating is applied onto the surface of the LCD, which is durable up to a certain
extent of hardness (approximately up to the hardness of a 2H pencil). In general, it is recommended not to expose the panel surface to any excessive shocks or scratches. An optional protective cover with greater scratch resistance is also available.
file:///D|/Philips LCD/english/150B/SAFETY/SAF_FAQ.HTM (2 of 9) [1/20/2001 3:06:52 PM]
Q: How should I clean the LCD surface? A: For normal cleaning, use the clean, soft and fine. For extensive cleaning, please use Isopropyl
alcohol. Do not use other solvents such as ethyl alcohol, ethanol, acetone, hexane, etc.
Q: What accessories are available for my 150P / 181AS LCD monitor? A: Currently there are 3 accessories available for the 150P. There are:
User installable Protective Cover Optional integrated USB Hub VESA Wall Mount Kit
Q: What accessories are available for my 150B / 170B LCD monitor? A: Currently there are 2 accessories available for the 150B. There are:

Q: What accessories are available for my 140S LCD monitor? A: Currently there are 1 accessories available for the 140S. There are:

VESA Wall Mount Kit

Q: How many signal inputs do Philips 150P LCD monitor provide? A: Standard 15-pin D-Sub and DVI-D connectors and a Macintosh adapter (optional outside of North
America) open the 150P up to most PC and workstation users. Handy hot keys on the chin of the 150P make switching between two different video sources a breeze.
Q: Can the Philips LCD Monitor be hung on the wall or used as touch panel? A: Yes, Philips Brilliance LCD monitors have this optional feature. The standard VESA mount holes
on inside removable back cover integrate with a VESA FPMPMI standard arm, which include both a VESA compatible mount bracket and external AC adapter. Touch panels are being developed for future applications. Check with your Philips sales representative for more information.

may need a cable adapter to connect the monitor to your Mac system. Please contact your dealer/reseller for more information.
Q: Are Philips LCD monitors Plug-and-Play? A: Yes, the monitors are Plug-and-Play compatible with Windows 95, 98 and the PC98/99

platforms.

Q: What is USB (Universal Serial Bus)? A: Think of USB as a smart plug for PC peripherals. USB automatically determines resources (like
driver software and bus bandwidth) required by peripherals. USB makes necessary resources available without user intervention. There are three main benefits of USB. USB eliminates "case angst," the fear of removing the computer case to install circuit board cards -- that often require adjustment of complicated IRQ settings -- for add-on peripherals. USB does away with "port gridlock." Without USB, PCs are normally limited to one printer, two Com port devices (usually a mouse and modem), one Enhanced Parallel Port add-on (scanner or video camera, for example), and a joystick. More and more peripherals for multimedia computers come on the market every day. With USB, up to 127 devices can run simultaneously on one computer. USB permits "hot plug-in." No need to shut down, plug in, reboot and run set up to install peripherals. No need to go through the reverse process to unplug a device. Bottom line: USB transforms today's "Plug-and-Pray" into true Plug-and-Play!
Q: What is a USB hub ? (181AS / 150P) A: A USB hub provides additional connections to the Universal Serial Bus. A hub's upstream port
connects a hub to the host, usually a PC. Multiple downstream ports in a hub allows connection to another hub or device, such as a USB keyboard, camera or printer.

LCD Panel Technology Q: What is Liquid Crystal Display? A: A Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is an optical device that is commonly used to display ASCII
characters and images on digital items such as watches, calculators, portable game consoles etc. LCD is the technology used for displays in notebook and other small computers. Like light-emitting diode and gas-plasma technologies, LCD allows displays to be much thinner than cathode ray tube (CRT) technology. LCD consumes much less power than LED and gas-display displays because they work on the principle of blocking light rather than emitting it.
Q: How are LCDs made? A: LCDs are created from two glass plates separated from each other at a distance of a few
microns. Plates are filled with liquid crystal, then seals together. The top plate is colored with a RGB pattern to make the color filter. Then polarizers are glued to both plates. This combination is sometimes called "glass" or "cell." The LCD cell is assembled into a "module" by adding the backlight, driver electronics and frame.
Q: What is polarization ? A: Polarization is basically directing light to shine in one direction. Light is electromagnetic wave.

Electric and magnetic fields oscillate in a direction perpendicular to the propagation of the light beam. The direction of these fields is called "polarization direction." Normal or non-polarized light has fields in several directions; polarized light has a field in only one direction.
Q: What differentiates passive matrix LCDs from active matrix LCDs? A: An LCD is made with either a passive matrix or an active matrix display grid. An active matrix has
a transistor located at each pixel intersection, requiring less current to control the luminance of a pixel. For this reason, the current in an active matrix display can be switched on and off more frequently, improving the screen refresh time (your mouse pointer will appear to move more smoothly across the screen, for example). The passive matrix LCD has a grid of conductors with pixels located at each intersection in the grid.
file:///D|/Philips LCD/english/150B/SAFETY/SAF_FAQ.HTM (6 of 9) [1/20/2001 3:06:52 PM]
Q: How does a TFT LCD Panel work? A: On each column and row of the TFT LCD panel, a data source drive and a gate drive and attached
respectively. The TFT drain of each cell is connected to the electrode. The molecular arrangement of liquid crystal elements differs depending on whether it is impressed with voltage or not. It varies the direction of polarized light and the amount of light by letting it through different arrays of liquid crystal elements. When two polarized filters are arranged vertically on a polarized light pole, the light that passes through the upper polarized panel is turned 90 degrees along with spiral structure of the liquid crystal molecules, and goes through the polarized filter at the bottom. When impressed with voltage, liquid crystal molecules are arranged vertically from the original spiral structure and the direction of the light is not turned in 90 degrees. In this case, light that comes through the top polarized panel may not go through the polarized panel at the bottom.
Q: What are the advantages of TFT LCD compared to CRT? A: In a CRT monitor, a gun shoots electrons and general light by colliding polarized electrons on
fluorescent glass. Therefore, CRT monitors basically operate with analog RGB signal. A TFT LCD monitor is a device displaying an input image by operating liquid crystal panel. The TFT has a fundamentally different structure than a CRT: Each cell has an active matrix structure and independent active elements. A TFT LCD has two glass panels and the space between them is filled in with liquid crystal. When each cell is connected with electrodes and impressed with voltage, molecular structure of liquid crystal is altered and controls amount of inlet lighting to display images. A TFT LCD has several advantages over a CRT, since it can be very thin and it does not have flickering because it does not use scanning method.

Philips' Flat Panel Monitors Pixel Defect Policy
Philips strives to deliver the highest quality products. We use some of the industry's most advanced manufacturing processes and practice stringent quality control. However, pixel or subpixel defects on the TFT LCD panels used in flat panel monitors are sometimes unavoidable. No manufacturer can guarantee that all panels will be free from pixel defects, but Philips guarantees that any monitor with an unacceptable number of defects will be repaired or replaced under warranty. This notice explains the different types of pixel defects and defines acceptable defect levels for each type. In order to qualify for repair or replacement under warranty, the number of pixel defects on a TFT LCD panel must exceed these acceptable levels. For example, no more than 0.0004% of the subpixels on a 15" XGA monitor may be defective. Additionally, because some types or combinations of pixel defects are more noticeable than others, Philips sets even higher quality standards for those.

Pixels and Subpixels

A pixel, or picture element, is composed of three subpixels in the primary colors of red, green and blue. Many pixels together form an image. When all subpixels of a pixel are lit, the three colored subpixels together appear as a single white pixel. When all are dark, the three colored subpixels together appear as a single black pixel. Other combinations of lit and dark subpixels appear as single pixels of other colors.

Types of Pixel Defects

Pixel and subpixel defects appear on the screen in different ways. There are two categories of pixel defects and several types of subpixel defects within each category. Bright Dot Defects Bright dot defects appear as pixels or subpixels that are always lit or "on". These are the types of bright dot defects:
