In the ongoing race to build ever better flat-screen displays, a potentially disruptive tech has made a debut at IFA.
Sharp will start selling next month in Japan the first LCD (liquid crystal display) televisions with built-in Blu-ray Disc recorders, it said Wednesday. The sets should be on sale in the US before the end of this year and launch in Europe in 2009.
Sharp raised the bar for high-definition LCD screens this week with the demonstration of 64-inch prototype with a resolution of 4,096-x-2,160 pixels -- four times higher than current high-definition displays. It is aimed at artists working in the motion graphics industry, according to the company.
Sharp has developed a 65-inch monitor. The LCD is expected to go on sale in Japan from March.
Sharp will later this month put on sale two multimedia notebook PCs with screens as bright the company's LCD TVs, claiming that they’re the brightest in the industry for notebook PCs.
Sharp new 15-inch LL-151-3D provides 3D stereoscopic imagery for desktop Windows and Mac PCs, without the need for special glasses.
HumanEyes and Sharp have teamed up to offer an optimised trial version of HumanEyes Lite 3D software on Sharp's 3D desktop displays and 3D laptops to permit 3D viewing without the use of glasses.
