Samsung’s latest QLED TV models have been officially certified by TÜV Rheinland as real Quantum Dot displays, meeting international IEC 62595-1-6 standards. This verification underscores Samsung’s commitment to advanced color accuracy and premium display quality in the competitive TV market.

Samsung QLED TVs Receive Prestigious Real Quantum Dot Certification

In a move that reinforces their position in the premium television sector, Samsung Electronics has obtained the internationally recognized “Real Quantum Dot Display” certification from TÜV Rheinland for its latest QLED TV lineup. This certification confirms that Samsung’s displays adhere strictly to the IEC 62595-1-6 international standard governing Quantum Dot technology.

Strict International Standards for Quantum Dot Displays

The IEC 62595-1-6 standard lays out precise specifications for Quantum Dot light units that utilize blue light sources. TÜV Rheinland’s rigorous assessment involved analyzing the light spectrum output of Samsung’s QLED panels, particularly evaluating the separation of red, green, and blue wavelengths. This spectral purity is critical for achieving high color accuracy and sharp image quality.

The certification highlights that, compared to alternative display technologies, Samsung’s Quantum Dot implementations minimize color blending and image fuzziness. This delivers vivid, precise colors and a realistic viewing experience that meets the high expectations of today’s discerning TV consumers.

Model Lines Included in Certification

  • Neo QLED 8K series (QN990F, QN950F)
  • Neo QLED 4K series (QN90F, QN85F, QN80F, QN70F)
  • QLED 4K series (Q8F, Q7F, Q6F)

Quantum Dots: A Nanomaterial Powering Visual Fidelity

Quantum Dots are nanoscale semiconductor crystals, thousands of times thinner than a human hair, celebrated for their ability to precisely emit colors at specific wavelengths. The way these nanomaterials are integrated into QLED panels is a key determinant of the display’s overall quality and fidelity.

Environmental Assurance Beyond Certification

Beyond TÜV Rheinland’s technical certification, the global testing firm SGS has independently verified that Samsung’s Quantum Dot technology is free from cadmium, a toxic heavy metal commonly avoided for environmental reasons. This adds an environmental responsibility dimension to Samsung’s premium display offering.

“This award objectively confirms that our QLED TVs deliver a real Quantum Dot experience compliant with global standards,” says Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Samsung’s Visual Display Business. “As a market leader, we remain dedicated to innovation while strengthening consumer trust.”
