Small bright dots may appear on your screen display when
you turn on your device. Your display contains an extremely
large number of thin-film transistors (TFT) and is
manufactured using high-precision technology. Any small
bright dots that may appear on your display are an intrinsic
characteristic of the TFT manufacturing technology. Over a
period of time, and depending on the usage of the device,
the brightness of the screen will deteriorate. This is also an
intrinsic characteristic of the screen technology. When the
device is operated on battery power, the screen will dim and
you may not be able to increase the brightness of the screen
while on battery power.
