With 50,000 hours of service life at a working temperature of -20°C up to 70°C the new TFT LCD model LQ035Q3DG03 with a 3.5 inch (8.8 cm) screen diagonal is for applications in industrial surroundings. Thanks to its minute installation depth of a mere 4.7 millimetres with edge lengths of 76.9 x 63.9 mm, the display is easy to integrate whatever the circumstances, e.g. in portable testing and measurement devices, other industrial hand-helds or a...

Colour displays are being used more and more frequently for displaying image information in consumer applications. Customers expect to find displays in appliances such as coffee machines, door phones, microwave ovens and washing machines etc. In order to help manufacturers of, e.g., white goods and other household and CE-devices to produce functional and aesthetically appealing HMIs with the lowest possible development costs, Sharp is offering so...

Sharp is expanding its portfolio of energy-harvesting components with new monocrystalline solar panels for portable applications. Compared to their predecessors, the new solar panels of the models LR0GC11 and LR0GC13 achieve a one-third better efficiency and a conversion rate of 16.5%. On a surface of just under 27 cm² the LR0GC11 achieves a maximum output performance of 390 mW; its smaller sister, the LR0GC13, supplies a maximum of 180 mW with ...

Sharp is showcasing its latest innovations from display technology and LED technology for general lighting at electronica 2010 at the Data Modul (Hall A3, stand 207) and Rutronik (Hall A5, stand 159 & 260) stands. The close cooperation at electronica should enables us to support our partners, particularly in generating more business with our components - something both of us will reap the benefits from, Franco Morotti, General Manager Business Un...

With its new 12.1 inch LC-display, Sharp is expanding its portfolio of displays with LED backlighting for industrial applications, with a high brightness model providing excellent optical features. It is also Sharp's first industrial display of this size with an XGA resolution of 1024x768 pixels.

Sharp Corporation will start mass production of blue LED chips at its Fukuyama Plant in Fukuyama City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Japan within 2010.

The 16:9 format 7 inch diagonal screen is emerging as the new standard for numerous portable test, measurement and input devices spanning all industrial sectors - logistics, transport, medicine, vehicle manufacturing and repair, the hotel trade and catering, etc - and various consumer applications such as pocket PCs, media players and electronic picture frames.

The alignment of the liquid crystal molecules in a predetermined direction is key for the image performance of any LCD; the better the alignment of the molecules the greater the static contrast and the light transmission of the panel. Controlling the alignment and movement of the liquid crystals is also essential for wide viewing angles.

Integrating miniature solar panels into mobile telephones is just the beginning, as the list of possible applications is long and includes all network- independent and mobile applications in particular. Miniature solar cells can significantly extend the operating life between battery charging cycles of speed and distance monitors for runners and cy-clists, digital cameras, laptops, portable media players, pocket PCs, outdoor products and of cours...

Sharp Corporation started operations at its new LCD panel plant (Sharp Display Products Corporation) in Sakai City, Osaka Prefecture, Japan. Construction on this state-of-the-art manufacturing complex for LCD pan-els and thin-film solar cells began 1 in November 2007.

Sharp has extended its successful range of industrial-grade LCDs with LED backlighting by intro-ducing two new displays. As highlight amongst the new additions to the product family, the 23-inch LQ231U1LW31 display is characterised above all by its excellent optical characteristics. These include amazing 500 cd/m² brightness, a wide viewing angle of up to 170° in all directions, incredible colour depth with 16 million colours and a high static ...

Sharp has prototyped a five-primary-color display that faithfully reproduces the real surface colors that humans are capable of perceiving. The pixel structure of the new type of panel is based on five-colors adding the colors C (cyan) and Y (yellow) to the three standard R (red), G (green), and B (blue) color set. This combination expands the color gamut that can be rendered within the color spectrum that humans can discern with the unaided eye,...

With an output rating of 300 mW on an area of only 27.7 cm², the new LR0GC02 solar panel is one of the leading photovoltaic components when it comes to efficiency. With a thick-ness of only 0.8 mm, it is also the thinnest photo cell currently available on the market. Sharp is thus setting new standards right from the outset as it enters the market for photovoltaic components.
