segment electrodes are bridged together; they cause
the shorted segment to activate together when they
should not. (They may not be as dark as other segments)
. Segment-to-common shorts are caused by some conductive
foreign materials in the fluid bridging between
a segment and back plane electrodes. |
Major |
| ¢ÇHigh current |
The total current required
to activate all segments shall not exceed the limit
specified in the specification for approval for
the tested voltage. |
Major |

Segments that only
partially activate are rejected; they are not as
dark as other segments. |
