(Digital Image Scaling Technology) employs an interpolation method that doubles
the scanning lines to realize 1250-line flickerfree picture making it
especially suitable for reproducing high resolution pictures even on
large-screen displays.
Pixel fault
There are three pixel faults - bright fault , dark fault and flicker fault - that are respectively defined as follows.
(1) BRIGHT FAULT
In this pixel fault, a cell that should not light originally is lighting on and off. For checking this pixel fault, input ALL BLACK SCREEN and find out the cell that is lighting on and off.
(2) Dark fault
In this pixel fault, a cell that should light originally is not lighting or lighting with the brightness twice as brighter as originally lighting. For checking this pixel fault, input 100% of each R/G/B color and find out the cell that is not lighting.
(3) Flicker fault
In the pixel fault, a cell that should light originally or not light originally is flashing on and off. For checking this pixel fault, input ALL BLACK SCREEN signal or 100% of each RGB color and find out the cell that is flashing on and off.
