  2. Defective pixel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defective_pixel

    Close-up of an LCD, showing a dead green subpixel as a black rectangle A defective pixel or a dead pixel is a pixel on a liquid crystal display (LCD) that is not functioning properly. The ISO standard ISO 13406-2 distinguishes between three different types of defective pixels, [ 1 ] while hardware companies tend to have further distinguishing ...

  3. List of LED failure modes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LED_failure_modes

    Reverse bias: Although the LED is based on a diode junction and is nominally a rectifier, the reverse-breakdown mode for some types can occur at very low voltages and essentially any excess reverse bias can cause immediate degradation, and may lead to vastly accelerated failure. 5 V is a typical maximum reverse bias voltage specification for ...

  4. LED-backlit LCD - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LED-backlit_LCD

    An LED-backlit LCD is a liquid-crystal display that uses LEDs for backlighting instead of traditional cold cathode fluorescent (CCFL) backlighting. [1] LED-backlit displays use the same TFT LCD ( thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display ) technologies as CCFL-backlit LCDs, but offer a variety of advantages over them.

  5. Image persistence - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_persistence

    The cause of LCD image retention is different from phosphor aging as in CRTs, but the visual phenomenon is the same: uneven use of display pixels. Slight LCD image retention can be recovered. When severe image retention occurs, the liquid crystal molecules have been polarized and cannot rotate in the electric field, so they cannot be recovered.

    The pumps are used in delivery of high-risk medications such as vasopressors, given to those with low blood pressure to make blood vessels constrict or become narrow.

  8. Sudden unintended acceleration - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sudden_unintended_acceleration

    Other problems may be implicated in the case of older vehicles equipped with carburetors. Weak, disconnected, or mis-connected throttle return springs, worn shot-pump barrels, chafed cable housings, and cables which jump their tracks in the throttle-body crank can all cause similar acceleration problems.

  9. Failure analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Failure_analysis

    Failure analysis is the process of collecting and analyzing data to determine the cause of a failure, often with the goal of determining corrective actions or liability. According to Bloch and Geitner, ”machinery failures reveal a reaction chain of cause and effect… usually a deficiency commonly referred to as the symptom…”. [ 1 ]
