Samsung Electronics added another feather to its hat by obtaining the first-ever Circadian Rhythm Display Certification for its 2023 Neo QLED and Lifestyle TVs, earlier in January. This certification proves Samsung’s commitment to developing technology and products designed with consumers at the top of its mind.
The certifications will be available for models Q70C and above and the Lifestyle TV variants Frame, Serif, and Sero.
What is Circadian Rhythm Display certification?
The World’s first Circadian Rhythm Display Certification was granted by the Verband Deutscher Elektrotechniker (VDE), an internationally accredited electronics, components, and systems certification institute in Germany. The VDE Certification confirms compliance with harmonized standards and is a competent proof of compliance with requirements of safety, quality, and EMC.
The VDE Circadian Rhythm Display certification process complies with the Circadian Stimulus method based on the research results of the Lighting Research Center in the U.S.
The certification recognizes Samsung TV’s, Eye Comfort Modes’ ability to automatically balance and adjust the light exposure and color temperature to mimic outdoor lighting.
The Eye Comfort mode impacts the viewer’s circadian rhythm, by measuring circadian stimulus for different levels of lighting and brightness and calculating the effect on melatonin suppression. When the screen’s light exposure, imitates the natural outdoor lighting, it benefits your biological circadian rhythm which decides when to release and inhibit the hormone Melatonin. This in turn helps you to get a comfortable rest and sleep better.
Melatonin is an essential hormone that your brain produces in response to darkness. This hormone helps to time and control your Circadian Rhythm (24-hour internal clock) and helps with sleep. A common symptom of insufficient and irregular Melatonin is sleep disturbance.
Smart devices and screens produce blue light, which fools the brain into thinking it’s day time and stops the release of Melatonin. This is why when you watch TV or use smartphones late into the evening and night, your brain inhibits the release of Melatonin as it thinks it’s still daytime, which can lead to sleep issues like insomnia.
After the pandemic, the time spent by people on smart devices and displays has increased significantly. An average person spends more than 6 hours a day on displays connected to the internet. According to Statista, in 2022 more than 5.41 billion people used Television and this number will keep on increasing in the come years.
Samsung’s Eye Comfort Mode provides an optimal viewing experience to its users who are spending more time indoors with their television and reduces the impact on the viewer’s Melatonin.
Besides the Circadian Rhythm Display, Samsung TVs also come with other certifications like Eye Care certification from VDE and ‘Glare-Free’ from UL, and ‘Pantone Validated’ and ‘SkinTone Validated’ certifications from Pantone.
