Samsung announced that the quantum dot (QD) sheet used in its QD TVs has received independent certification of compliance with the Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) directive and has been verified to contain no cadmium by the global certification institute, Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS).

SGS, headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland, is a world-leading testing and certification body that provides services to ensure organizations meet stringent quality and safety standards across various industries.

In addition to receiving recognition from SGS for the no-cadmium technology in Samsung quantum dot film, the company’s compliance with the EU’s RoHS directive provides shoppers with additional comfort regarding the content of their screen as they watch TV.

Samsung began researching quantum dot technology in 2001, and its ongoing commitment to research and investment has positioned it at the forefront of innovation in the global display market.

After developing the world’s first no-cadmium quantum dot material in 2014, Samsung launched TVs that implemented the technology the following year. Since then, the company has been leading quantum dot technology through continuous technological advancements.
