Dead pixels on an iPhone screen can be caused by various factors, but they generally occur due to defects in the manufacturing process. These defects can result in poor contact where the power flows or the loss of fluid in the LCD cell. While dead pixels are not usually known to spread, there are instances where internal factors like electrical faults might contribute to their propagation.
Manufacturing defects are common culprits for dead pixels on an iPhone screen. During the manufacturing process, a small defect may occur in the specific area where the pixel is located. This defect can prevent proper contact between the power source and the pixel, resulting in a dead pixel. This defect can be random and may vary from one iPhone to another.
Another cause of dead pixels can be the loss of fluid in the LCD cell. LCD screens consist of millions of liquid crystal cells, each responsible for displaying a single pixel. If the fluid within a specific cell leaks or dries up, that particular pixel will no longer function, leading to a dead pixel. This loss of fluid can be caused by manufacturing defects or external factors like physical damage to the screen.
While dead pixels themselves do not typically spread, there are instances where underlying internal issues can contribute to their propagation. For example, if there is an electrical fault within the iPhone, it can affect the functioning of multiple pixels, resulting in the appearance of additional dead pixels. However, such cases are relatively rare, and dead pixels are primarily limited to the areas of manufacturing defects or fluid loss.
In my personal experience, I have come across iPhones with dead pixels that were likely caused by manufacturing defects. These dead pixels were isolated and did not spread over time. However, it is important to note that individual experiences may vary, and there could be instances where dead pixels do spread due to unique circumstances.
