Samsung Electronics said on the 13th that its micro RGB (red, green, blue) TV (R95H) obtained both the "eye safety" and "circadian rhythm display (CRD)" certifications from VDE, a German testing and certification body.

The certification is granted to products that provide an optimal viewing environment without burdening the human body by measuring how the display affects the user's eyes and circadian rhythm.

Among them, the eye safety assessment analyzes the light emitted by digital devices to measure how extended TV viewing affects the eyes. In particular, it verifies the level of blue light reduction, which affects eye fatigue and sleep rhythms during prolonged exposure, to evaluate that long hours of TV viewing do not strain the eyes.

The circadian rhythm display assessment measures how the display affects the viewer's 24-hour circadian cycle. It evaluates whether the display reproduces an environment close to natural light during the day and minimizes stimulation at night.

To that end, it analyzes melatonin suppression levels by time of day and the characteristics of color temperature and luminance changes.

Samsung Electronics is also expanding eye safety certification beyond the micro RGB TV to major models in its 2026 TV lineup, and is sequentially expanding circadian rhythm display certification, focusing on premium products.

Executive Vice President Son Tae-yong of Samsung Electronics' Visual Display Division said, "With the micro RGB TV verified for both eye safety and circadian rhythm suitability, it has set a new standard for premium TVs," adding, "We will continue to develop differentiated display technologies that take into account users' viewing environments and even their lifestyles."
