Refrigerator: Two new series of no frost refrigerators have been increased in product line such as C-Pro series which will help to keep food fresh longer with hybrid cooling system and is equipped with a newly designed cylinder handle with luxury classic style as well as Butterfly series, equipped with bottom freezer, the new freedom of opening and closing both on left and right sides with dual swing door which is Sharp’s proprietary.

He also added that this technology has been accepted and widely used by the world’s leading companies in various business sectors, for instance, automobile, hotel, residence, and sanitary ware, etc., confirmed by the sales of PCI generators over 20 million units.

“The continuity of R&D on LCD panel technology enables us to discover the world’s first LCD color display technology called Quattron Technology. This technology helps to increase the range of displayable colors by adding yellow sub pixels into RGB standard panels. The color reproduction can represent all colors that exist in nature. Sharp advances to higher step by launching latest AQUOS 60” 3D LCD TVs which improve crosstalk and low brightness that usually find in 3D TVs in response to consumers’ demands”, managing director said.

The plant behind every success of Sharp LCD panels is Green Front Sakai, the Super Green Factory in Japan, which is the world’s complete and modern manufacturing complex. Every production process is environmentally friendly caring and all Sharp LCD TVs are produced from this plant. The plant is the first facility to adopt the world’s largest 10th-generation glass substrates (2,880 x 3,130 square millimeters) in producing LCD panels. This enables Sharp to produce LCD panels for the most efficiency big screen TV in this industry.
