Sharp Showcases Advanced Super View LCD Displays
May 24, 2005
Camas, WA - At the Society for Information Display International Symposium, Sharp showcased its broad line of Liquid Crystal Display panels based on the newest innovations in LCD technology. The company featured a 4.3-inch amorphous silicon liquid crystal display in a 16:9 aspect ratio and 480 x 272 pixel format capable of displaying 16 million colors. It was developed for next-generation mobile devices that require wider color gamut, higher-resolution, and greater power efficiency in a landscape format.
Sharp also exhibited several large-format LCD-TVs including its new 65-inch LC-TV, all developed with Sharp’s Advanced Super View technology for high contrast and fast response time. Sharp’s LCD-TVs are manufactured at its sixth generation Kameyama fabrication plant in Mie Prefecture, Japan, where eight 32-inch displays can be cut from a single motherglass.
To demonstrate its strong commitment to providing industry-leading LCD solutions for a range of applications, Sharp exhibited a comprehensive lineup of small, medium and large display modules for mobile/handheld products, enterprise, automotive, industrial/medical, and consumer markets.
Sharp’s TFT-LCD displays feature proprietary display technologies, including:
• Advanced Super View LCDs feature 170 degree (H) x 170 degree (V) viewing angle, response rates of 12 milliseconds or less, and a 800:1 contrast ratio. Sharp’s Liquid Crystal TVs are manufactured using this technology for high-contrast and fast response rates with no smearing of fast-moving images.
• Super Mobile LCDs combine Sharp’s proprietary Advanced Super View LCD and Advanced-TFT LCD technologies, and allow display modules to exhibit video and photographic-quality text and still images. A remarkable 240 x 240 Mobile ASV will be on display, as well as a 1.8-inch display for cell phones.
• Advanced-TFT (AD-TFT) Technology combines the advantages of a reflective display with a conventional transmissive display, ideal for PDAs, gaming, medical, and other handheld and mobile applications used in a wide range of ambient lighting conditions. Displays that will be on exhibit for handheld applications include the 3.0-inch, 3.5-inch and 3.7-inch modules.
• CG-Silicon is a next-generation process technology developed jointly by Sharp and Semiconductor Energy Laboratory Co., Ltd. (head office: Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan; president Shunpei Yamazaki). CG-Silicon makes possible a new generation of smaller, thinner, more versatile, more powerful and energy efficient mobile devices. Among the displays on exhibit will be a 2.6-inch VGA display, and 2.2-inch and 2.4-inch QVGA displays.
Sharp also demonstrated its system solution for personal media player applications that features Sharp’s MCUs, Flash memory, LEDs and other components.
