Samsung Electronics announced on the 8th that its Quantum Dot Light Emitting Diode (QLED) TV has received the 'real quantum dot display' certification from the German testing and certification organization TUV Rheinland.
Quantum dots are nanoscale particles divided to a fraction of a hair's width, allowing for precise color representation based on light wavelength, hence garnering attention as a key material for premium displays.
TUV Rheinland evaluated that Samsung Electronics' QLED TV meets the standards for quantum dot displays set by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC). The IEC defines that quantum dot displays must include quantum dot optical components and blue light backlights.
Additionally, results from product spectrum measurements analyzed that the optical spectrum clearly distinguishes three colors: red (R), green (G), and blue (B).
Using quantum dots makes it easier to accurately express various colors due to their narrow wavelength and high fluorescence. In contrast, using regular phosphors instead of quantum dots may result in multiple spectrums occurring from a single color.
The certified products include two types of Neo QLED 8K (model names QNF990, QNF950), four types of Neo QLED 4K (QNF90, QNF85, QNF80, QNF70), and three types of QLED 4K (QF8, QF7, QF6), totaling nine products.
Samsung Electronics assessed that this certification officially validates its QLED structure based on international standards, allowing it to secure differentiated competitiveness in the market and enhance brand trust.
In addition to this certification, Samsung Electronics' QLED TV has also been certified for the excellence of its cadmium-free quantum dot technology by the global certification organization SGS, indicating it is safe for human health.
Son Tae-yong, vice president of the Samsung Electronics Visual Display Business, noted, 'This certification objectively proves that Samsung QLED is a true quantum dot display with a structure and performance that meets international standards.'
