Samsung Neo QLED earns Germany VDE 'Eye Care' certification... "First in TV industry"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunjin Jeong] Samsung Electronics announced on the 11th that it has received the 'Eye Care' certification related to viewing from the German certification body VDE for its 2021 QLED TV products, including the Neo QLED, the first in the TV industry.

VDE's Eye Care certification is a viewing safety evaluation index consisting of items such as ▲eye safety certification ▲melatonin certification ▲flicker harmlessness certification ▲screen uniformity certification ▲color accuracy certification.

The eye safety certification is granted when the emission levels of blue light, ultraviolet rays, and infrared rays are measured according to the harmfulness classification method of lighting defined by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC), and the levels are classified as harmless to the human body. Melatonin certification can be obtained only if the melatonin suppression level of the light emitted from the device meets VDE's standards.

Samsung Electronics explained that the QLED TV met the flicker level standards set by the International Electrotechnical Commission, which can affect eye fatigue or headaches, and was also recognized for excellence in screen uniformity and color accuracy, which evaluate how comfortable the eyes are when watching TV content.

Choi Yong-hoon, Vice President of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Business Division, said, "Samsung QLED is a product that considers not only image quality and usability but also consumers' viewing safety," adding, "As a leader in the TV industry, we will continue to develop consumer-centered products to realize the 'Screen for All' vision."
