LG Display Receives UL Solutions Eyesafe Verification for OLED TVs and Monitors
Introduction of the Verification Achievement
UL Solutions has announced that LG Display’s organic light-emitting diode (OLED) televisions and monitors are the first to achieve UL Solutions Eyesafe Verification. This verification confirms that LG Display’s OLED models effectively reduce circadian-stimulating blue light emissions, supporting their marketing claims.
What is UL Solutions Eyesafe Verification?
The UL Solutions Marketing Claim Verification process aims to provide consumers with confidence in the product claims made by manufacturers. This third-party verification ensures that advertising and promotional statements are backed by science and verified facts, helping consumers make informed decisions in a market where concerns about screen time health effects are rising.
“UL Solutions’ Marketing Claim Verification process is designed to give consumers confidence in product claims,” said Todd Denison, senior vice president of Global Regions at UL Solutions. “By validating advertising and promotional statements, UL Solutions helps consumers distinguish between verified facts and unsubstantiated claims.”
The Science Behind the Eyesafe Verification
OLED technology is unique because of its self-emissive pixels, meaning the display does not require backlighting like traditional LCD screens. To achieve the Marketing Claim Verification, UL Solutions assessed the performance of LG Display’s OLED TVs and monitors using the Eyesafe Display Requirements 3.0. This evaluation included the Radiance Protection Factor (RPF®) and Circadian Protection Factor (CPF) methodologies.
To earn this verification, the displays were required to meet a minimum RPF score of 35 and achieve a CPF rating of 60. The RPF assessment confirmed that the televisions and monitors met Eyesafe criteria for blue light toxicity, color gamut, and color temperature, earning an RPF score of 40. Additionally, the CPF score of 60 verified a significant reduction in blue light emissions, making the OLED models easier on the eyes, especially in terms of circadian rhythm disruption.

Eyesafe Requirements and Their Importance
Eyesafe requirements are established with the collaboration of eye care professionals and scientists, creating a standard for blue light filtration and color performance. By meeting these requirements, LG Display’s OLED models provide a safer viewing experience, reducing potential negative effects of prolonged screen exposure.
After successfully completing the verification, LG Display can now use the UL Eyesafe Verified Mark on their products, packaging, and marketing materials, helping consumers easily identify displays that meet the highest standards of blue light safety.
Statement from LG Display
“This verification by an objective and reliable institution signifies that we have set a new standard for customers to choose human-friendly displays,” said Soo-young Yoon, CTO and executive vice president of LG Display. He continued, “LG Display will continue to provide differentiated customer value through our relentless efforts and innovation.”
Conclusion
LG Display’s achievement of the UL Solutions Eyesafe Verification sets a new standard in the display industry. With the increasing concern over the potential health effects of blue light exposure, this verification provides consumers with a reliable way to choose displays that prioritize eye health and circadian rhythm. Through innovation and dedication to customer well-being, LG Display continues to lead the way in the development of human-friendly display technologies.
