Samsung is always striving to innovate for the benefit of the customer. Out of this was borne the concept of Micro RGB. A concept which miniaturised the backlight unit itself to a micro level. Micro RGB uses microscopic red, green and blue LEDs (colour), each under 100 microns, that emit light independently. This results in an ultra-wide spectrum colour, stunning brightness, precise contrast and true depth for a lifelike viewing experience. 

Samsung set an ambitious target of achieving 100% BT.2020 Wide Colour Gamut coverage² – an international standard for ultra-high-definition TV colour, set by the International Telecommunication Union. In simple terms it means that it can show the full colour range defined by that standard, helping images look richer, more accurate and more lifelike.

It also means a level of colour reproduction once limited to professional monitors can now be experienced on TVs and marks a significant advancement in the technical standards of the display industry.

Bringing Cutting-Edge Technology into Everyday Viewing

Micro RGB achieves one of the highest colour gamuts available in TVs today. Samsung has ensured its Micro RGB technology utilises enhanced software capabilities to ensure users can experience the difference across a wider range of content from HDR content to everyday content such as OTT streaming and sports.

Available in the R95H and R85H series in sizes from 55 to 115 inches, Micro RGB delivers highly precise light control, richer detail and more natural colour.

Additionally, Glare Free technology³ minimises light reflection in bright environments, helping preserve a clear viewing experience across a range of lighting conditions.

Toward the Next-Generation Screen Experience

The Micro RGB TV goes beyond technological advancement, it expands the boundaries of how users experience screens in everyday life while setting new standards for the industry.

As the Micro RGB TV continues to push the boundaries of innovation, Samsung is paving the way for the next generation of screen experiences.

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 micrometre-sized RGB LEDs, raising the bar for colour 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 optimise both picture and sound. This advanced technology analyses each frame in real time and automatically optimises colour output for a more lifelike and immersive picture. With this AI engine, Micro RGB Colour Booster Pro recognises scenes with dull colour tones and intelligently enhances colours across all content for a more vivid and immersive viewing experience.

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

With Glare Free technology, Samsung’s Micro RGB minimises 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.

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.
