Samsung Electronics today announced the official launch of its Micro RGB, the world’s first display to feature a micro-scale RGB LED backlight behind a large 115-inch screen. This breakthrough display establishes a new benchmark for color accuracy, contrast and immersive viewing in the ultra-premium TV segment.

Samsung’s Micro RGB is built on Samsung’s proprietary Micro RGB Technology, which arranges individually controlled red, green and blue micro RGB LEDs — each less than 100µm in size — in an ultra-fine pattern behind the panel. Unlike conventional backlighting, the architecture enables precision control over each red, green and blue RGB LED.

“Micro RGB achieves unprecedented precision in the control of micrometer-sized RGB LEDs, raising the bar for color accuracy and contrast in consumer displays,” said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President and Head of the R&D Team of the Visual Display (VD) Business at Samsung Electronics. “With this launch, we’re setting the standard in the large-sized, ultra-premium TV market and reinforcing our commitment to next-generation display innovation.”

Micro RGB is powered by Samsung’s Micro RGB AI engine, which uses AI processing to fully optimize both picture and sound. This advanced technology analyzes each frame in real time and automatically optimizes color output for a more lifelike and immersive picture. With this AI engine, Micro RGB Color Booster Pro recognizes scenes with dull color tones and intelligently enhances colors across all content for a more vivid and immersive viewing experience.

Additionally, Samsung’s Micro RGB features Micro RGB Precision Color, ensuring colors are delivered as intended for maximum accuracy and vividness, with precisely controlled colors that achieves 100% color coverage of BT.2020, an international standard for color accuracy established by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The display also received ‘Micro RGB Precision Color’ certification from the Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), a leading German electrical engineering certification institute.

With Glare Free technology, Samsung’s Micro RGB minimizes reflections, even in bright lighting conditions for a more comfortable and focused viewing experience. Apart from providing next-generation performance, Micro RGB’s super slim metal design achieves a sleek, minimalistic profile to compliment any interior.

With Samsung Vision AI integrated, Samsung’s Micro RGB brings the latest state-of-the-art AI technologies including AI picture and sound, and a smarter Bixby voice assistant, powered by generative AI, which offers a more conversational and personalized experience for TV users to get more from what they’re watching without leaving the screen.

Samsung’s Micro RGB is also secured by Samsung Knox, the industry-leading security solution designed to protect users’ sensitive personal data, and Samsung’s 7-year free Tizen OS Upgrade program, which ensures ongoing software enhancements and long-term support.

After its debut in Korea, Samsung’s Micro RGB is set to launch in the U.S., with plans for a global rollout featuring a variety of sizes to meet customer needs.
