Samsung Launches World First Micro RGB, Setting New Standard for Premium TV Technology

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.

Kingston IronKey D500S: World’s First TAA-Compliant, FIPS 140-3 Level 3 Hardware-Encrypted Drive with Trusted Supply Chain

Kingston announces today its award-winning Kingston IronKey™ D500S hardware-encrypted USB flash drive has received NIST FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validation. Designed and assembled by Kingston in California, D500S is the world’s first and only FIPS 140-3 Level 3 validated drive with a TAA-compliant and trusted supply chain.

When the IronKey D500S was being designed in 2020, the business goal was to make it a best-in-class hardware-encrypted drive with XTS-AES 256-bit encryption and the newest NIST security standard, FIPS 140-3 Level 3. But, an additional goal was to also go beyond TAA-compliance, which only verifies the legally-declared Country Of Origin (COO). The D500S was designed to ensure that all its critical components and assembly processes fully meet TAA and CMMC compliance requirements. 

Critical drive components include the following:

- Secure Microprocessor managing all encryption and authentication processes

- Digitally-signed firmware for the Secure Microprocessor

- Drive software launcher, which includes multi-password authentication and feature setting

- NAND Flash storage chips

- Assembly of the Printed Circuit Board (PCB) with all critical components 

- Encasing the PCB assembly and injecting epoxy in the rugged casing to comply with FIPS 140-3 Level 3 anti-tampering protection

All critical drive components were directly sourced by Kingston from TAA-compliant and trusted suppliers, and stocked in the secured Kingston Manufacturing Center in California, USA to ensure drive assembly is done in tightly controlled, engineering supervised processes. D500S will also have matching internal and external serial numbers for asset tracking and endpoint management.

“We went over-and-above competitors in the USB data protection industry to ensure that the IronKey D500S is an unrivaled best-in-class FIPS 140-3 Level 3 certified drive for securing data-at-rest and meeting stringent government and military standards worldwide,” said Kingston. “With a trusted supply chain supporting CMMC and TAA compliance, along with design and assembly at Kingston’s USA headquarters, D500S stands out as the most security-focused USB drive on the market—delivering unmatched assurance for customers who require the highest level of trusted data protection.”

D500S also has the industry’s first dual-partition option on a hardware-encrypted USB drive with multiple passwords. This allows Admin to create two custom-sized secure partitions for Admin and User, for a Hidden File Store that can be used to provision files to the User partition as needed. When using untrusted systems or sharing the drive, the Hidden File Stores keep data secure and invisible unless accessed through proper authentication.

Other advanced features include the capabilities of an Admin to set a Global Read-Only mode until reset, as well as to enter a Crypto-Erase password that will destroy the data and reset the drive to prevent unauthorized access in compromising situations. D500S also features a rugged zinc casing which meets military-grade shock, vibration and drop test specifications1 with IP67 dust and water resistance rating.

D500S offers fully customizable features and functionality to meet your organization’s specific needs, with capacities up to 512GB3 and backed by a 5-year warranty and free technical support.
