Samsung QLED TVs Earn "Real Quantum Dot Display" Certification from TÜV Rheinland
Samsung QLED TVs certified for compliance with international Quantum Dot display standards Certification underscores Samsung's commitment to display innovation and quality
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 29 May 2025 - Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. announced that its latest lineup of QLED TVs has received "Real Quantum Dot Display" certification from TÜV Rheinland, an international certification organisation based in Germany. The certification verifies that Samsung's QLED TVs meet global standards for quantum dot display structures, reinforcing the company's technological leadership in the premium TV market.
The certification confirms that Samsung QLED TVs comply with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) 62595-1-6 standard, which defines the application of quantum dot light converting units combined with blue light sources for standard QLED displays.
As part of the certification process, TÜV Rheinland analysed the light spectrum produced by Samsung QLED TVs and confirmed that it displayed clear separation between red, green, and blue—an important marker of colour accuracy. This distinction is enabled by quantum dots and may not be as pronounced in displays using alternative materials, which can sometimes cause colour mixing or reduced clarity. The results demonstrate how Samsung's use of quantum dots contributes to delivering vivid and precise colour expression.
With the latest certification, Samsung's QLED TVs are officially validated as true quantum dot displays, further differentiating Samsung's offerings and strengthening consumer trust in premium television technologies.
"This certification objectively validates that Samsung QLED TVs deliver true quantum dot performance built to international standards," said Taeyong Son, Executive Vice President of Visual Display Business at Samsung Electronics. "We will continue to drive innovation and strengthen consumer trust as we lead the premium TV market."
The series that have has received the aforementioned certification includes the Neo QLED 8K (QN990F, QN950F), Neo QLED 4K (QN90F, QN85F, QN80F, QN70F), and QLED 4K (Q8F, Q7F, Q6F) series.
Quantum dots are ultra-fine nanomaterials, tens of thousands of times smaller than a human hair, renowned for their ability to reproduce precise and vivid colours depending on light wavelength. The method by which quantum dots are integrated into display panels has become a key indicator for evaluating technological advancement in the premium TV segment.
Separately, Samsung's quantum dot technology has also been recognised by the global testing organisation, Société Générale de Surveillance (SGS), for its excellence in cadmium-free design—an environmentally conscious approach that eliminates the use of cadmium, a toxic heavy metal known to pose risks to human health and the environment.

Japan to raise foreign direct investment target to $1trln by mid-2030s, sources say
TOKYO - Japan is set to raise its 2030 foreign direct investment target by 20% and push the figure as high as 150 trillion yen ($1.05 trillion) by the middle of the decade, people familiar with the matter told Reuters. The mid-decade goal, almost triple the current level of investment of some 50 trillion yen, underscores Japan's push to revitalise its economy by attracting foreign firms to pump money into key growth sectors such as decarbonisation. The new targets, to be formally included in the government's upcoming fiscal and economic policy guidelines in June, represent a sharp escalation from the previous goal of 100 trillion yen by 2030. The plan is to revise the 2030 goal to 120 trillion yen which will set the stage for accelerated effort in the years beyond to reach 150 trillion yen before 2035, said the people, who declined to be identified as the matter is still private. The expanded foreign direct investment strategy is also aimed at stimulating regional economies and creating jobs outside major urban centres, the people said. To this end, they said, the government is considering the use of new grants and enhanced public-private collaboration frameworks to support the establishment of foreign facilities in local areas.

Citi names Bank of America veteran Zhang as new China country head
HONG KONG - Citigroup said on Monday it had appointed Wenjie Zhang as its new country officer and banking head for China, after the exit of its former China head in November. Zhang was also named president and executive director of Citibank China, the company said in a statement. The appointment is subject to regulatory approvals. He will act as the lead Citi representative and as its single, coordinated face in the mainland China market, the company said, leading the team and fostering strong regulatory relationships and risk controls. He will fill the role after former Citi China head Luke Lu left in November for personal reasons. Zhang will join Citi in July and will be based in Shanghai, reporting to Marc Luet, Citi's Head of Japan, Asia North and Australia and Banking, the bank said. A seasoned banker with 30 years of experience in corporate and institutional banking, Zhang was most recently the president of China and Shanghai branch manager for Bank of America China, according to Citi's statement. Prior to that, he was co-head of global banking and executive vice president at HSBC China, after stints at JPMorgan, Citi and Credit Agricole CIB. Citi is cutting up to 200 information technology (IT) contractor roles in China, two people familiar told Reuters last month, as the bank looks to hire its own staff globally for such operations to improve risk management and data governance. Citi, which already has a banking business in China, is in the process of setting up a securities unit in the country. (Reporting by Selena Li; Editing by Jamie Freed)

Trump's GCC tour redefining UAE's role as investment hub
US President Donald Trump's whirlwind tour of the GCC nations — the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar — beginning on May 13, 2025, has unleashed a transformative wave of economic opportunities, bolstering the UAE's position as a global hub for innovation and investment. With over $2.8 trillion in agreements spanning artificial intelligence (AI), aviation, defence, and energy, the visit has deepened US-GCC strategic partnerships, driving bilateral trade, technological collaboration, and foreign direct investment (FDI). The UAE, already a regional economic powerhouse, stands to benefit significantly, with deals worth $200 billion directly impacting its markets, alongside broader commitments like Qatar's $1.2 trillion economic exchange and Saudi Arabia's $600 billion investment pledge to the US. These agreements, coupled with the UAE's 10-year, $1.4 trillion investment framework, signal a new era of economic synergy, though not without risks and complexities. The UAE's Minister of Economy, Abdulla bin Tou Al Marri, described the visit as a 'milestone in fostering economic openness and global collaboration,' emphasising the historic US-UAE partnership rooted in mutual respect. With non-oil trade reaching $32.8 billion in 2024 — 4% of the UAE's global non-oil trade — the US remains the UAE's largest non-Asian trading partner. Nearly 13,000 American companies operate in the UAE, with over 66,000 US trademarks registered by 2024, while 115 Emirati firms thrive in the US across healthcare, technology, and aviation. Dr Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade, highlighted the shared commitment to prosperity, noting: 'Our efforts focus on enhancing the flow of goods, services, and capital.' Total bilateral trade reached $39.8 billion in 2024, up from $12.7 billion in 2010, reflecting a diversified exchange, with the UAE as the world's second-largest aluminium exporter, critical to US markets. Trump's tour catalysed landmark frameworks like the US-UAE AI Acceleration Partnership, aimed at advancing AI, cloud infrastructure, and advanced computing. A draft agreement could see the UAE import 500,000 Nvidia AI chips annually from 2025, with 100,000 allocated to G42, a UAE-based AI firm backed by Mubadala and Silver Lake, and the rest supporting US tech giants like Microsoft and Oracle for data centre expansion. This deal, potentially extending to 2030, requires G42 to build equivalent facilities in the US, ensuring mutual benefits. The Abu Dhabi data centre, set to be the largest outside the US, underscores the UAE's ambition to become a global AI hub. Microsoft's $1.5 billion investment in G42 in 2024 further exemplifies this synergy, positioning chipmakers like Nvidia and AMD, and cloud providers like Amazon, for growth, though US export controls on advanced chips pose risks. Aviation agreements were a cornerstone, with Gulf airlines, including Etihad Airways, committing billions to Boeing widebody jets powered by GE Aerospace engines. Etihad's $14.5 billion order reflects robust post-Covid demand for long-haul travel, with global airline capital expenditure projected to grow 7.2% annually through 2030, as per IATA. Boeing and GE Aerospace are poised for sustained revenue, but supply chain bottlenecks could delay deliveries. Defence deals, totalling $180 billion, focused on drones, missile systems, and aircraft, with Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and Northrop Grumman securing multi-billion-dollar contracts aligned with regional security priorities. Saudi Arabia's $142 billion arms deal, the largest in history, may unfold over decades, introducing execution risks due to long production cycles and compliance hurdles. Energy commitments were equally significant, with the UAE's Adnoc partnering with ExxonMobil, Occidental Petroleum, and EOG Resources for a $60 billion oil and gas expansion. Qatar's LNG terminals and clean energy projects align with the GCC's energy diversification goals, with renewable energy capacity in the region expected to reach 35 GW by 2030, per Irena. Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) announced a new US smelter to double domestic production, part of the UAE's $1.4 trillion US investment pledge, enhancing supply chain resilience for materials and industrial sectors. Vijay Valecha of Century Financial noted that the $200 billion in UAE-specific deals has spotlighted the country's stable political climate and financial hub status, boosting liquidity and trading volumes. The UAE's FDI inflows reached $22.7 billion in 2024, per UNCTAD, with expectations of further growth as the country targets 5 per cent of GDP in FDI by 2030. Saudi Arabia's $600 billion investment commitment, including $9.5 billion in 2023 across transportation, real estate, and automotive sectors, reflects similar ambitions. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) has expanded into ride-sharing, gaming, and electric vehicles, aligning with Vision 2030's diversification goals. Qatar's $1.2 trillion economic exchange emphasises infrastructure and technology, with FDI inflows rising to $1.8 billion in 2024, per the Qatar Investment Authority. These investments counter a regional FDI decline, with Saudi Arabia's FDI dropping to $20.7 billion (1.9% of GDP) in 2024, as per Oxford Economics. Trump's unexpected decision to lift US sanctions on Syria, announced during the tour, removes barriers to the country's recovery, potentially boosting GCC trade with the Levant. Progress towards an Iran nuclear deal, facilitated by Oman, introduces upside risks for regional economic stability, though uncertainties persist. The GCC's strategic maritime position on East-West trade routes and influence in global economic debates — spanning sovereign debt and monetary system reforms — elevate its importance to the US administration. The US trade surplus with the GCC, coupled with a 10 per cent tariff rate compared to 70% for others, underscores the region's favoured status, per White House fact sheets. Despite the optimism, risks loom. Charu Chanana of Saxo Bank highlights US export controls on AI chips, which could impact Nvidia and AMD, and execution delays due to supply chain constraints affecting defence and energy projects. Geopolitical volatility, including Middle East tensions and Red Sea disruptions, could derail deals, while high valuations in AI and defence stocks risk corrections. Heavy reliance on state-owned entities like Adnoc and G42 introduces concentration risks, necessitating diversified strategies. Global protectionism, with trade tensions at record levels, adds complexity, though the GCC's low tariff rates mitigate some impacts. The UAE's economic ascent is further evidenced by its fintech and crypto sectors, with $30 billion in crypto investments in 2024 and a 210% adoption surge, as per Atmos. This aligns with Trump's deals, particularly in AI and technology, positioning the UAE as a leader in digital finance. The country's regulatory frameworks, including DIFC and ADGM, foster innovation while ensuring stability, attracting $1.1 billion in startup funding across 207 deals in 2024, according to Magnitt. Trump's tour has redefined US-GCC economic ties, unlocking opportunities that align with the UAE's vision for diversification and innovation. For investors, AI, aviation, defence, and energy offer significant potential, but a selective approach is crucial to mitigate risks. As Maya Senussi of Oxford Economics notes, the $1 trillion in US-bound investments signals the GCC's growth ambitions, catalysing stronger FDI inflows and reshaping global economic dynamics. As analysts observed, with the UAE at the forefront, Trump's visit marks a pivotal moment, reinforcing the region's role as a beacon of opportunity in a volatile global landscape.
