Samsung Electronics has obtained ‘Real Quantum Dot Display’ certification from TÜV Rheinland for its latest QLED TV lineup. The certification validates compliance with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62595-1-6 standard, which establishes requirements for quantum dot light converting units combined with blue light sources in QLED displays.
Quantum dots are nanomaterials significantly smaller than human hair that can reproduce precise colors based on light wavelength. The implementation method of these materials in display panels has become an important benchmark in assessing technological sophistication in premium televisions.
The certified models include Samsung’s flagship Neo QLED 8K (QN990F, QN900F) series, Neo QLED 4K (QN90F, QN85F, QN80F, QN70F) series, and QLED 4K (Q8F, Q7F, Q6F) series.
During the certification process, TÜV Rheinland analyzed the light spectrum produced by Samsung’s QLED TVs, verifying clear separation between red, green and blue wavelengths, a crucial factor in color accuracy. This distinction, enabled by quantum dot technology, can be less pronounced in displays using alternative materials, which may exhibit color mixing or reduced clarity.
In addition to the TÜV Rheinland certification, Samsung’s quantum dot technology has received recognition from global testing organization Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS) for its cadmium-free design, an environmentally responsible approach that eliminates the use of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal associated with risks to human health and the environment.
