2. DEFINITIONS

2.1 Blemish
A blemish is an obstruction (dark blemish), reflection, or refraction of light (light blemish)
that is visible, but out of focus in the projected image under specified conditions of
inspection (see Table 1). It is caused by a particle, scratch, or other artifact located in the
image illumination path.

2.2 Dark pixel
A dark pixel is a single pixel or mirror that is non-functional (stuck) in the OFF position.

2.3 Bright pixel
A bright pixel is a single pixel or mirror that is non-functional (stuck) in the ON position.

2.4 Unstable pixel
An unstable pixel is a single pixel or mirror that does not operate in sequence with
parameters loaded into memory. The unstable pixel appears to be flickering
asynchronously with the image.

2.5 Adjacent pixels
Adjacent pixels are defined as sharing a common border or common point.

2.6 Border defects
Border defects are bright blemishes (see 2.1) or bright pixel defects (see 2.3) in the
non-active area that may be visible in front projection mode.
