LGD Obtains Certification for Display 'Optimized for Biological Rhythms'

LG Display announced on the 27th that its OLED TV and monitor panels have received the ‘Circadian Friendly’ certification from T?V Rheinland, a global safety and quality testing and certification organization, indicating that the displays are optimized for viewers' biological rhythms. This is the first time a display panel product has received the Circadian Friendly certification.

At the circadian rhythm certification award ceremony held at the LG Display Research Building in Magok Science Park, Frank Holzmann, Global Head of Electronics Certification at T?V Rheinland, is presenting the certificate to Yoon Soo-young, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of LG Display (left).

The circadian rhythm is a human biological rhythm pattern that occurs on an approximately 24-hour cycle. The biggest factor affecting the circadian rhythm is light, and it is known that watching TV or smartphones for extended periods at night can disrupt the circadian rhythm and cause sleep disorders.

T?V Rheinland evaluated based on the ‘circadian stimulus’ values established by the Lighting Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in the United States, and verified that LG Display’s self-emitting OLED TV and monitor panels minimize the impact on viewers' biological rhythms while providing excellent picture quality. They awarded the highest grade of the circadian rhythm certification, ‘Circadian Friendly Level (CFL) 1.’

Previously, LG Display’s OLED TV panels had the industry’s lowest level of harmful blue light emission and no screen flicker that causes vision deterioration, earning the industry’s first ‘i-safe’ certification jointly developed by the U.S. eye safety specialist i-safe and T?V Rheinland. Additionally, they received ‘Flicker Free’ and ‘Glare-Free Display’ certifications from the global safety science company UL.

Yoon Soo-young, Vice President and Chief Technology Officer (CTO) of LG Display, said, “Based on OLED, which is a display that is safe for the human body even during long viewing times as well as providing excellent picture quality, we will expand the application of human-friendly technology to provide the best customer experience.”
