Summary:
At CES 2025, Eyesafe launched its updated Eyesafe Display Requirements 3.0 and Eyesafe Accessory Requirements 3.0, setting new standards for the consumer electronics and screen protection industries. These programs focus on reducing blue light emissions that impact visual comfort and circadian rhythms while ensuring color performance. Eyesafe also introduced its patented CPF60 technology for mobile screen protectors, which targets circadian-disrupting blue light and has been linked to improved sleep, reduced eye strain, and enhanced productivity in a SleepScore Labs study. Eyesafe is collaboraitng with UL Solutions, which will verify product efficacy to the requirements on blue light emissions and circadian impact.
Key Takeaways:
- New Standards for Blue Light Protection: Eyesafe 3.0 standards establish metrics to measure blue light emissions’ impact on eye health and sleep, ensuring reduced disruption while maintaining color accuracy.
- Introduction of CPF60 Technology: Eyesafe CPF60 technology, designed for mobile accessories, targets circadian-disrupting blue light (480-500 nm) and improves sleep and eye comfort based on user-reported benefits.
- Verified Consumer Benefits: A SleepScore Labs study found that CPF60 technology improved sleep in 79% of users, reduced eye strain in 89%, and boosted productivity by 32%.
Eyesafe, a provider of blue light solutions and technology, announced at CES 2025 the launch of Eyesafe Display Requirements 3.0 and Eyesafe Accessory Requirements 3.0—new programs that set criteria for the consumer electronics and screen protection industries, establishing thresholds for high-energy blue light and color performance.
The new industry methodologies were developed to help verify marketing claims related to blue light reduction and color performance. Eyesafe is collaboraitng with UL Solutions, which will verify product efficacy to the requirements on blue light emissions and circadian impact.
Eyesafe Display Requirements 3.0
Eyesafe Display Requirements 3.0 defines key criteria, including blue light toxicity, circadian stimulus, color gamut, and color temperature, to measure a product’s blue light emissions associated with visual comfort and sleep disruption, while ensuring display color performance.
- RPF (Radiance Protection Factor): Measures protection from blue light that can impact eyes, focusing on the blue light hazard, peaking between 435-440 nanometers (nm). 1 The higher the score (on a scale of 0-100), the better the blue light reduction. A score of 35 or higher is needed to earn a marketing claim verification.
- CPF (Circadian Protection Factor): Focuses on reducing blue light that can affect sleep and circadian rhythms (480-500 nm).2 Higher scores indicate less circadian disruption, with 35 or higher needed to earn a marketing claim verification.
- Color performance: Determines accuracy and vividness of display colors.
Eyesafe Accessory Requirements 3.0
Eyesafe Accessory Requirements 3.0 defines key criteria tailored to display type (LCD/LED or OLED) to measure a product’s blue light emissions associated with visual comfort and/or circadian impact, while ensuring display color performance.
- For LCD/LED screens (common in laptops and monitors): The assessment methodology focuses on RPF, or level of blue light filtration across the wavelengths that may impact eye health (435-440 nm)1 and blue light toxicity reduction. The higher the score (on a scale of 0-100), the better the blue light reduction. A score of 20 or higher is needed to earn a marketing claim verification.
- For OLED screens (common in smartphones): The assessment methodology targets CPF, or level of blue light filtration across the wavelengths that can affect melatonin production and circadian rhythms (peak 480-500 nm)2 and change in circadian impact (380-780 nm). Higher scores indicate less circadian disruption, with 20 or higher needed to earn a marketing claim verification.
- Color accuracy: All products must meet criteria for correlated color temperature and luminance to ensure display colors remain vibrant (accommodations provided for privacy screen protection).
Eyesafe Display Requirements 3.0 and Eyesafe Accessory Requirements 3.0 provide guidelines to assess that digital devices and accessories not only provide blue light protection but also deliver a great visual experience.
Products are tested and verified by UL Solutions, upon which manufacturers receive the UL Marketing Claim Verification Mark, helping consumers identify products that deliver on performance claims.
Eyesafe CPF60 Technology for Mobile Accessories
At CES 2025, Eyesafe also debuted its patented Eyesafe CPF60 technology for mobile screen protectors. This solution targets blue light in the 480-500 nm range to mitigate circadian rhythm disruption while also supporting visual comfort and display color accuracy.
A study by SleepScore Labs on Eyesafe CPF60 technology revealed:
- 79% of users reported improved sleep
- 76% of users felt more refreshed upon waking
- 89% of users observed reduced eye strain
- Users said their productivity increased by 32%
These findings, based on self-reported survey results, underscore the potential consumer benefits of Eyesafe CPF60 and showcase its ability to positively impact users’ daily lives, according to a release from the company.
