Certification includes assessment of visual comfort and circadian rhythm alignment
Samsung Electronics today announced that its Neo QLED and Lifestyle TVs have received EyeCare Circadian certification from the Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE), one of the leading electrical engineering certification institutes in Germany. This achievement highlights Samsung’s commitment to developing technology that supports natural circadian rhythms, promoting well-being and visual comfort.
“This certification highlights our commitment to creating products that enhance the user experience by prioritizing eye comfort and reducing visual fatigue, while delivering exceptional image quality,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of the visual display business at Samsung Electronics. “We will continue to promote innovations that anticipate and adapt to users’ changing needs, providing both immersive entertainment and long-term sustainable comfort. »
The certification covers key models in the Neo QLED and Lifestyle ranges, including The Frame and The Serif. Six critical criteria are evaluated to determine whether a product is suitable for certification: eye safety, eye-friendliness, flicker level, uniformity, color fidelity and circadian stimulation (CS) index — a framework designed to evaluate the visual comfort and alignment of the circadian rhythm. .
At the heart of Samsung’s achievements is EyeComfort mode, which automatically adjusts luminance and color temperature based on the time of day and ambient lighting conditions. By simulating natural light patterns, the mode reduces tension during daytime viewing and promotes a restful nighttime environment, aligning with the body’s natural rhythms.
This certification adds to a series of recognitions for Samsung TVs, highlighting their user-centric products and features. The Neo QLED series has already achieved Circadian Rhythm Display certification from VDE, while Samsung Lifestyle TVs have received anti-glare verification from Underwriters Laboratories (UL) to reduce visual fatigue. Additionally, for their exceptional color accuracy, Samsung TVs are Pantone validated.
