Samsung Unveils World's First Micro RGB TV
After years of the TV world largely focusing on upgrades on more or less the same core OLED and LCD screen technologies, we seem to be entering a new era of genuine TV hardware innovation. This year alone has already seen Hisense unveil new RGB Mini-LED technology, TCL unveil new WHVA panel designs with advanced 'halo control' features, and Sony take the wraps off what it catchily calls the first 'independent drive RGB LED' screen. Now it's Samsung's turn, with the Korean brand taking the wraps off the world's first TV to use what Samsung calls Micro RGB technology. Set to make its major in-person debut at the upcoming IFA technology show in Germany in early September, Samsung's Micro RGB system is the first TV tech to feature a 'micro-scale' RGB LED backlight. This arranges individually controlled red, green and blue micro RGB LEDs each, remarkably, less than 100micrometers in size into an ultra-fine pattern behind the screen, where they are illuminated by new backlighting architecture that makes it possible to achieve precision control over every one of these tiny red, green and blue RGB LEDs. Samsung claims that its Micro RGB screens deliver 'a new benchmark for color accuracy, contrast and immersive viewing in the ultra-premium TV segment.' To put some sort of number on these claims, the debut Micro RGB TV will apparently be capable of covering a full 100% of the BT2020 colour gamut – something that no other mainstream TV technology can currently do. So wide is the BT2020 color spectrum that it's currently used almost exclusively as a 'container' format, into which the narrower DCI-P3 color spectrum used for most high dynamic range video is placed. But if BT2020-capable screens exist, it's much more likely than it would be otherwise that the AV and, perhaps especially, gaming worlds might start to venture beyond DCI-P3 more often. Samsung says that its debut Micro RGB display is equipped with a Micro RGB AI engine that uses AI-powered processing to analyse incoming content frame by frame in order to continually optimize the screen's color output. Part of this optimisation process includes a Micro RGB Color Booster Pro system capable of enhancing the colors of relatively dull content to take advantage of the screen's ground-breaking capabilities. This Booster processing will have to be extremely intelligent about how it goes about its business to appeal to AV enthusiasts who usually only want to see what the director intended. I've been at meetings with movie industry experts over the years, in fact, who believe that the full Rec 2020 color range is so extreme that using it all might not be desirable. Samsung's new technology has already received 'Micro RGB Precision Color' certification from leading German electrical engineering certification institute Verband der Elektrotechnik (VDE), though – and I suspect that provided its 'expanded' images still look balanced and natural on their own terms, there is likely a big market of AV fans out there who would be prepared to lap Micro RGB's apparent charms up. If they can afford them… Samsung hasn't announced an official price yet for its debut Micro RGB screen. But given its use of new, presumably difficult to manufacture technology and the fact that this technology is debuting in a massive 115-inch screen, it's pretty clear that Samsung's suggestion that its Micro RGB screen will be a new addition to 'the ultra-premium TV segment' is not to be taken lightly. Samsung really is planning to bring its new technology to market, though; this isn't just a prototype developed to decorate a corner of Samsung's next few tech show appearances. Samsung's level of commercial intent with this TV can be seen in such features as its confirmed inclusion of Samsung's Knox consumer security solution, Tizen OS smart system (which now comes with a 7-year free upgrade program), and a confirmed release strategy that sees a U.S. launch following the screen's Korean debut, with plans to proceed to a full global rollout thereafter that would include a wider variety of screen sizes. — Related articles Sony Unveils Eye-Popping Next-Gen TV Technology—And Again, It Isn't OLED Hisense Reveals Two New Giant TVs—One Debuting Tri-Chroma LED TV Technology TCL's Display Development Division Unveils New OLED And LED Advances

Rock Tech Receives Further Research Funding From German Government
After having received funding from EIT Raw Materials, a body of the European Union, the Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space has selected Rock Tech for funding in the lithium field. Rock Tech will collaborate with research partners from RWTH Aachen University (Rheinisch-Westfälische Technische Hochschule Aachen), one of Europe's leading technical universities, especially renowned for its strong competencies in engineering and applied sciences. TORONTO, Aug. 12, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - Rock Tech Lithium Inc. (TSXV: RCK) (OTCQX: RCKTF) (FWB: RJIB) (WKN: A1XF0V) (the "Company" or "Rock Tech") is pleased to announce that it has been awarded funding from the Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt (Federal Ministry for Research, Technology and Space) for the project "ELiSePro – Efficient Lithium Recovery Using Selective Processes". The aim of this initiative is to further increase lithium yield in our converter process at the Guben site, making a significant contribution to Germany's raw material independence. The project will be implemented in collaboration with RWTH Aachen University, highlighting the strong partnership between industry and leading academic research in Germany. The total funding amount is approximately 250,000 Euros. As part of the project, various state-of-the-art ion separation methods (including nanofiltration, capacitive deionization, and lithium-ion sieves) will be systematically compared to minimize lithium losses in the process. The results will be evaluated based on economic and technological criteria and are intended for direct industrial application in our Guben converter in order to increase our recovery. Innovative findings will also be published in scientific journals and be patented. "This funding supports the technological advancement of the German and European battery industry – and even it's a relatively small amount, it's an important step towards building additional know-how for strengthening security of supply for critical raw materials and building sustainable value chains in Europe" says Mirco Wojnarowicz, CEO of Rock Tech. In the past few months, Rock Tech has received funding from several public sources, to become a technological leader in lithium processing. This new funding underlines the strategic relevance of Rock Tech and its projects in Canada and Germany, the latter one of which was selected as strategic project under the EU Critical Raw Materials Act (CRMA). After having granted funding from EIT RawMaterials under the prestigious KAVA (Knowledge and Innovation Activities) grant program (800,000 Euros) as well as from Ontario's Critical Minerals Innovation Fund (CMIF) to advance lithium ore sorting technologies (388,000 CAD), this new funding is the third program to position Rock Tech as strategic relevant player in the lithium industry. On behalf of the Company,Mirco WojnarowiczCEO ABOUT ROCK TECHRock Tech's vision is to supply the electric vehicle and battery industry with sustainable, locally produced lithium, targeting a 100% recycling rate. To ensure resilient supply chains, the company plans to build lithium converters at the doorstep of its customers, beginning with the Company's proposed Lithium Hydroxide Converter in Guben, Brandenburg, Germany. The second Converter is planned to be built in, Ontario, Canada. Rock Tech Lithium plans to source raw material from its own Georgia Lake spodumene project in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario, Canada, and procure from other ESG-compliant mines. Ultimately, Rock Tech's goal is to create a closed-loop lithium production system. Rock Tech has gathered one of the strongest teams in the industry to close the most pressing gap in the clean mobility story. The Company has adopted strict environmental, social and governance standards and is developing a proprietary refining process to increase efficiency and sustainability further.
