Thanks to CTOnews.com netizen OC_Formula for clue delivery! CTOnews.com If not corrected, the new energy regulations, which will come into force in March 2023, will cause big trouble for the 8K industry because they set the power consumption limits for 8K TVs (and microLED-based displays) so low that none of the 8K TVs currently on the market can meet this standard, meaning that these devices cannot be sold in the EU. This will have a very chilling impact on all those who are committed to developing the 8K ecosystem, including consumers, whose access to devices and innovation will now be limited.

CTOnews.com understands that in March 2019, the regulation stipulated that the energy efficiency index (EEI) of 8K TVs and microLED-based displays should not exceed 0.9, the same as that of 4K TVs. The Energy Efficiency Index is a number calculated based on screen area and electricity consumption, and the 8K Association has confirmed that no 8K TV currently achieves this level of efficiency and will therefore be banned from the EU market.

During the development of the methodology for determining the EEI of displays, the European Union evaluated data from many displays placed on the market between 2012 and 2017. Using verifiable statistics and sound scientific methods, limits were set for HD and Ultra HD displays and performance was differentiated between different display families. However, for displays above UHD and microLED displays, it is impossible to adopt the same standard because they appear on the market after regulations are enacted.

The 8K Association believes that the direct application of 4K TV restrictions to 8K TVs will greatly affect the European 8K industry, but the regulatory committee has the opportunity to resolve this issue before the regulations come into effect next March.
