AQUOS advanced technology. A vision that brings so much more to see. Great style and performance do not just happen. It takes a commitment to quality, an incredibly talented team of professionals and a vision for innovation. Sharp, a global leader in Liquid Crystal Televisions year after year, brings all of this and more to our technology, continually raising the bar for outstanding quality and high performance. Multi-Pixel Technology By dividing each pixel into two sections and developing an advanced driving system, Sharp s new Multi-Pixel Technology delivers more natural and accurate colour reproduction when viewing the screen from virtually any angle. This technology improves extreme-angle viewing by approximately 60 percent. Next-Generation Advanced Super View LCD Panel The purest whites. The deepest blacks. The most vivid range of colour. That s what comes with Sharp s innovative LCD panel technology. The panel uses an enhanced colour filter that allows greater light transmission providing a greater native contrast ratio of up to 2000:1* and a response time as quick as 4ms* for true filmlike smoothness. This means richer colour and a more accurate, more brilliant depiction of the world on screen. Four-Wavelength Backlight System The conventional three-wavelength red, green and blue LCD backlight just got better. Sharp has vastly improved natural colour reproduction with the development of its four-wavelength backlight system*, adding a remarkably vivid crimson red to the palette and changing the way LCD TV is viewed. With Sharp, the colour possibilities are endless.

Continuing its leadership, Sharp opened a second plant at Kameyama in August 2006. This is the world s first facility to adopt 8th generation glass substrates, which are roughly twice as large as the substrates used in the number one plant. Plant number two is specially designed for the production of glass for LCD TV screen sizes in the 40-inch through to 50-inch range and is providing a steady supply of medium to large panels to respond to the growing worldwide demand for digital and high definition flat panel televisions. Sharp s new state-of-the-art factory in Kameyama, Japan The most advanced facility for the integrated manufacture of LCD TVs. The most advanced technology to minimise environmental impact. The Kameyama plant was designed as a Super Green Factory. A cogeneration system and a photovoltaic power generation system supply the plant with approximately one-third of its energy needs. Combined with a waste-heat recovery system that transforms waste heat into air conditioning, Sharp reduces CO2 emissions by 40 percent per year. In addition, the plant collects all the wastewater from the production process and recycles it using water purification technology. The Sharp Liquid Crystal Television plant in Kameyama, Japan, represents the ultimate example of economic efficiency, social mindedness and environmental conservation. Combining Sharp s vast experience and knowledge in R&D and mass production, including 50 years of TV and 30 years of LCD production, the Sharp Kameyama plant is a world-class facility for the manufacture and assembly of LCD panels. 7

A Long History of Leadership in LCD Sharp has Become Synonymous with LCD Technology. Ever since the release of the first LCD pocket calculator in 1973, and still today. No surprise then that the latest generation of LCD televisions comes from the Sharp plant in Kameyama, one of the most modern production facilities in the world. 65" 45" 52" 52" 20" 20" 30" 37" SHARP CORPORATION OF AUSTRALIA PTY LTD 1 Huntingwood Drive, Huntingwood NSW 2148, PO Box 6827, Blacktown NSW 2148 Ph: (02) 9830 4600 Fax: (02) 9672 1207 www.sharp.net.au SHARP CORPORATION OF NEW ZEALAND 59 Hugo Johnston Drive, PO Box 12244, Penrose, Auckland Ph: 0-9-5730111 Fax: 0-9-5730112 SHARP CORPORATION.
