LG Display OLED Obtains 'iSafe' Certification in the U.S.

[Asia Economy Reporter Changhwan Lee] LG Display announced on the 5th that its OLED (Organic Light Emitting Diode) panel has received the ‘Eyesafe’ certification, indicating eye safety, from the U.S.-based eye safety specialized certification organization ‘Eyesafe’.

The Eyesafe certification was jointly developed with the globally renowned testing and certification organization ‘TUV Rheinland,’ and LG Display’s OLED is the first TV panel to receive this certification.

LG Display emphasized that its OLED has internationally reconfirmed its eye-friendly display status by consecutively obtaining the ‘Low Blue Light’ and ‘Flicker Free’ certifications from global certification bodies in 2019 and 2020, followed by the ‘Eyesafe’ certification this year.

Eyesafe measures blue light, which is known to increase eye fatigue and cause sleep disorders. The certification is only issued if all stringent conditions are met, including that the proportion of harmful blue light among total blue light emissions is 50% or less, and the proportion of harmful blue light among total visible light emissions is 0.085% or less.

LG Display’s OLED TV panel met the standard with a harmful blue light proportion of about 34% (based on 65 inches), which is the lowest level in the industry. This is the lowest level among existing TV panels and about half the level compared to premium LCD TV panels of the same size range.

LG Display plans to showcase display solutions that consider user safety and health by utilizing eye-friendly OLEDs at CES 2021, held on the 11th.

Oh Changho, head of LG Display’s TV Business Division, said, “This certification means that OLED has been recognized as the optimal display for the post-COVID-19 era,” adding, “Consumers looking for TVs that are healthy and safe for their eyes can confidently choose OLED TVs.”
