Couplet definition

A failing pixel at X with a failing pixel at position [0] or [1] or [2] or [3] or [4] or [5] or [6] or [7] such that

there is a maximum of 2 failing pixels from the group of 9 pixels illustrated in

Figure 33 is described

as a couplet fail. The example shown on the right in

Figure 33 has failing pixels at the centre

location and at position [7].

The basic couplet definition is further subdivided into minor and major couplets. With respect to the

example in

Figure 33, a minor couplet is defined as a defect pixel pair where one pixel can be an

extreme fail, that is a “stuck at black” or “stuck at white”, but the second pixel in the pair must differ

from the local pixel average by less than 15% of that average value. If the second pixel in the couplet

differs by more than 15% of the local pixel average value then this would be defined as a major

couplet.

Note that the test program considers a couplet as 2 independent pixels. If the test identifies two

independent pixel fails (pixels that differ by more than 15% from pixel average of neighbors) that

form a couplet with 2 minor pixel fails within the inner area, the device fails the test and is rejected.

If however the test identifies 2 couplets where the pixels span the border between the inner and

outer areas and where only one of the pixels in the inner area is determined as a major fail and the

other a minor fail, then this device passes the test.

8.4.4

Cluster definition

We define a cluster fail as a failing pixel with at least two adjacent failing pixels. In the example from

Figure 34, there are additional pixel fails in positions [0] and [7]. This example constitutes a cluster.

A sensor containing a cluster is always rejected.
