LG Display and Eyesafe usher in a new era of television displays designed for human health and safety. The world's first-ever TUV Rheinland Eyesafe® Certified low blue light TV display - a 65" OLED screen - comes amid alarming levels of average consumer screen time.
Certification is endorsed by a global panel of leading eye doctors; LG Display Chief Technology Officer Dr. Soo-Young Yoon calls the announcement a 'watershed moment' in television display manufacturing.
The display panel is designed to meet Eyesafe requirements
for low emissions of blue light and optimal color performance. The
certification was granted by an independent third-party certification company
called TUV Rheinland. LG Display expects TVs using the new Eyesafe panel to
come to market throughout 2021.
LG says the new panel launch comes after significant data
from around the globe has shown rising levels of screen time by consumers
globally. The amount of time people spend in front of devices with displays
such as televisions, smartphones, laptops, and others is growing at a fast
rate. The pandemic around the world has increased those numbers significantly.
In the United States, a Nielsen report indicates the average
user’s screen time exceeds 13 hours a day. The Eyesafe Display Standard is the
world’s leading set of health-based requirements for the consumer electronics
industry. The standard was developed with assistance from over 250 top
ophthalmologists, optometrists, and engineers after conducting and analyzing
clinical health and safety research on the impact of exposure to high-energy
blue light.
TUV Rheinland will issue a Certificate of Conformance,
including a test report on LG’s new display. It’s unclear if the technology
used for reducing blue light exposure will impact the performance of the
display compared to those that don’t meet Eyesafe standards. It’s also unclear
how much the display will cost at this time.
