When it comes to late night TV viewing, OLED is better in bed
on June 27 that its display technology used in OLED TVs and monitors received a new certification from TÜV Rheinland called 'Circadian Friendly', which measures the amount of light emitted by display panels.
After all, we're fairly simple creatures, and circadian rhythms are the internal clock that tells our body to do certain things at certain times, such as going to sleep and waking up. There have been concerns for some time that late-night screen use messes with those rhythms, stimulating our eyes and our brains when we're supposed to be winding down, and those concerns have focused in particular on the blue light emitted by many displays.
"Exposure to light suppresses the secretion of melatonin, a hormone that influences circadian rhythms. Even dim light can interfere with a person's circadian rhythm and melatonin secretion. A mere eight lux – a level of brightness exceeded by most table lamps and about twice that of a night light – has an effect". Studies on this have been small so far, but there's enough evidence to suggest a causal link rather than just coincidence.
