Full HD Resolution
Simply put, nothing competes to theAQUOS 1080p full high definition experience. You enjoy HDTV in itspurest, most exhilarating form. True 16:9 widescreen provides acinematic experience optimized for your natural line of sight. AndAQUOS 1080p delivers twice the digital and double resolution of 720pHDTV.
Resolution describes the number of pixels on a digitaltelevision screen. More pixels give the picture more lifelike detail.Higher pixel density provides added clarity for digital TV, DVD, andHDTV. This fine resolution means you can view the large screen evenfrom a close distance. For example, you can comfortably view a 45-inchscreen from about 5.6-feet away.
AQUOS Liquid CrystalTelevisions deliver very high resolutions for a clear, smootherpicture. Our widescreen models meet the highest standards for HDTVviewing and provide a true 16:9 aspect ratio. With stunning resolutionsup to 1920 x 1080, they capture the full excitement and intensity ofhigh definition.
Contrast and Brightness
Sharp'sD62U series of liquid crystal Televisions offer the industry's highestnative contrast ratio of 2,000:1 and highest dynamic contrast ratio of10,000:1. With these superior contrast levels, you can enjoy a qualityviewing experience in any viewing environment. Sharp's new proprietaryAdvanced Superior View/Black TFT Panel decreases color shift, enablinga high native contrast ratio of 2,000:1. Native contrast is thecontrast within one image frame. Sharp's new proprietary EnhancedPicture Contrast technology results in a dynamic contrast ratio of10,000:1. Dynamic contrast is the contrast between the lightest anddarkest colors AQUOS can display. Enhanced picture Contrast detects theblack level characteristics of the image source and dynamically adjuststhe backlighting accordingly to display deeper blacks.
Four Spectrum Color:
Sharp has added a deep crimson to the three standard primary colors ofblue green and red on all AQUOS models. This four-wavelength backlightbeautifully reproduces all the varied skin tones, making people's skinlook fresher and more lively, and objects such as red wine look deeperand riper. This is only possible by broadening the color range.
Glare reduction:
AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions feature a low-reflection Black TFTpanel that reduces the glare of ambient light, no matter where thelight is coming from or how much light is present in the room. Even ina bright, sunlit room, AQUOS glare reduction ensures crisp images.
Fluid Motion:
AQUOS technology has improved its response time to 4ms, #1 in theindustry for Liquid Crystal TV, and compatible with CRT technology.With less residual image on screen, AQUOS is perfect for watchingfast-moving images such as sports, movies with subtitles, video games,and action movies.
Black is back. And better than ever.
In a world where color trends come and go, Sharp is excited tointroduce its new contemporary classic—the D62U Series. With screensizes of 42-, 46- and 52-inches, the D62U Series offers the mostelegant, cutting-edge flat panel televisions available. This seriessets new standards in HDTV style and innovation, with a striking pianoblack finish, subtly recessed speakers, brilliant color reproductionand spectacular picture quality. In addition to providing a highcontrast ratio, the newest AQUOS series includes a next-generationAdvanced Super View LCD panel that delivers 1080p full spec HD (1920 x1080) resolution for the sharpest possible picture. Plus, itsMulti-Pixel Technology significantly improves color reproduction atvirtually every viewing angle. The dual HDMI inputs are compatiblewith 1080p sources such as Blu-ray players. All of this means that,through the AQUOS, there is always more to see.
AQUOS Advanced Technology
Great style and performance do not just happen. It takes a commitmentto quality, an incredibly talented team of professionals and a visionfor innovation. Sharp, a global leader in Liquid Crystal Televisionsyear after year, brings all of this and more to our technology,continually raising the bar for outstanding quality and highperformance.
- Multi-Pixel Technology: By dividingeach pixel into two sections and developing an advanced driving system,Sharp’s new Multi-Pixel Technology delivers more natural and accuratecolor reproduction when viewing the screen from virtually any angle.This technology improves extreme-angle viewing by approximately 60percent.
- Next-Generation Advanced Super View LCD Panel: The purest whites. The deepest blacks. The most vivid range of color.That’s what comes with Sharp’s innovative LCD panel technology. Thepanel uses an enhanced color filter that allows greater lighttransmission—providing a greater native contrast ratio of up to 2000:1and a response time as quick as 4ms for true film-like smoothness. Thismeans richer color and a more accurate, more brilliant depiction of theworld on screen.
- Four-Wavelength Backlight System: Theconventional three-wavelength red, green and blue LCD backlight justgot better. Sharp has vastly improved natural color reproduction withthe development of its four-wavelength backlight system, adding aremarkably vivid crimson red to the palette—and changing the way LCD TVis viewed. The LC-57D90U takes the technology a step further with afive-wavelength backlight system, adding an even deeper green. WithSharp, the color possibilities are endless.
The most advanced facility for the integrated manufacture of LCD TVs.
The Sharp Liquid Crystal Television plant in Kameyama, Japan,represents the ultimate example of economic efficiency, socialmindedness and environmental conservation. Combining Sharp’s vastexperience and knowledge in R&D and mass production, including 50years of TV and 30 years of LCD production, the Sharp Kameyama plant isa world-class facility for the manufacture and assembly of LCD panels.
Continuing its leadership, Sharp will open a second plant at Kameyamain October 2006. This will be the world’s first facility to adopt 8thgeneration glass substrates, which are roughly twice as large as thesubstrates used in the number one plant. Plant number two is speciallydesigned for the production of glass for LC-TV screen sizes in the40-inch through 50-inch range and will provide a steady supply ofmedium to large panels to respond to the growing worldwide demand fordigital and high definition compatible flat panel televisions.
The most advanced technology to minimize environmental impact
The Kameyama plant was designed as a "Super Green Factory." Acogeneration system and a photovoltaic power generation system supplythe plant with approximately one-third of its energy needs. Combinedwith a waste-heat recovery system that transforms waste heat into airconditioning, Sharp reduces CO2 emissions by 40 percent per year. Inaddition, the plant collects all the wastewater from the productionprocess and recycles it using water purification technology. Via itsSuper Green Strategy, by the year 2010, Sharp plans to completelyoffset its production of greenhouse gas emissions by way of energysavings from new energy-efficient products and energy creation throughthe proliferation of Sharp solar cells.
