We all know Sharp is particularly strong in the LCD panel space, which signifies it is not a huge surprise the corporation is the very first to announce a 3D LCD with four base colors (Sharp has added yellow to the usual trio of red, green and blue). The business also claims the new screen is about 80% brighter than standard versions, boasting the highest brightness within the industry.
The exhibit will be sold in Japan “sometime just before summer”, as component of Sharp’s Aquos LCD TV line (they showcased a 60-inch prototype throughout a press event in Tokyo). Global sales are scheduled to start out by the end of this year. Executive Vice President Masafumi Matsumoto mentioned his corporation will reveal technical particulars concerning the device following month.
What we know is that unlike the smaller 3D display Sharp announced a few days ago, the new TV will need glasses. It’s going to also feature side-mount scanning LED backlight technologies to boost picture high quality and a response time of less than 4ms.
Sharp bets high on 3D. The corporation expects the 3D Television market to expand to 10 million units in 2012. 3D AQUOS TVs are expected to achieve 5-10% of all AQUOS products within the very first 12 months, with Sharp projecting this number to grow to 20-30% right after that.
