COSTA MESA, California—July 3, 2023 — BenQ receives Eyesafe^® Certification 2.0 for its latest series of large-format interactive displays for education. The BenQ Board Pro RP04 and BenQ Board Master RM04 smart boards ensure protection against high-energy blue light while maintaining optimal color performance.

The latest certificates issued by Eyesafe—the worldwide leader in blue light management technology—verifies that both models of the BenQ Board have undergone thorough testing and have satisfied the Eyesafe^® Display Requirements 2.0, the newest blue light emission and color performance criteria set by Eyesafe and TÜV Rheinland, the globally renowned third-party certification organization.

“Being the first smart board provider to get Eyesafe Certified 2.0 is a clear testament to BenQ’s commitment in providing the best education technology for schools. We ensure that teachers and students get the best learning tools while also protecting their health with our ClassroomCare^® technologies,” says Claire Huang, Director of BenQ's Cloud Innovation Center and Display Solutions Department.

Considered the industry benchmark for low blue light emissions, Eyesafe Display Requirements 2.0 introduces a new metric called the Radiance Protection Factor (RPF^®), a rating system that is designed to help users quickly identify and compare devices and their respective blue light emissions.

RPF is calculated using a scaling factor that is based on the current technological limits of current LCD and OLED technologies. It assigns displays a number (ranging from 1 to 100) that reflects the displays’ blue light toxicity. This value simplifies the complex blue light toxicity formula that Eyesafe and TÜV Rheinland use for measurements.

“Similar to how the Sun Protection Factor (SPF) measures protection for the skin, the Radiance Protection Factor (RPF) scale measures blue light emissions and potential risk for the eyes. Higher RPF numbers indicate a greater reduction of high-energy blue light in a display, so the higher the number, the better,” explains Elishaa Batdorf, Marketing Director at Eyesafe.

The BenQ Board Pro RP04, BenQ’s latest premium smart board for education currently has an RPF50 rating, while the BenQ Board Master RM04 has a rating of RPF35.
