Sharp expands its display portfolio for e-signage applications
New 46-inch and 52-inch displays offer excellent image quality for the specific requirements of public displays
Hamburg, May 22, 2007 – Sharp Microelectronics Europe is expanding its display portfolio for e-signage applications to include two new large-format models: the 46-inch module LK460D3LZ19 and the 52-inch module LK520D3LZ19. These displays have been specifically developed for signage applications such as e.g. display panels in airports, railway stations, shopping centres or casinos and are part of Sharp’s growing portfolio of large-format displays.
Both new products are characterised by a high contrast ratio of up to 1800:1 and a reaction time of 6 ms. They offer full HD resolution and a wide viewing angle of up to 176° thanks to Sharp’s specially developed Advanced Super View (ASV) technology.
“With our range of large-format displays, we offer high-quality products that meet the special requirements of the growing e-signage market,” says Andreas Niemann, Product Marketing Manager for LCD Mobile, Consumer & Industrial at Sharp Microelectronics Europe.
Sharp’s portfolio of large-format displays currently consists of four products: one 46-inch and one 52-inch in horizontal format as well as two 65-inch displays, one in horizontal and one in portrait format. By the end of this year, the portfolio is to be expanded to include two additional 46-inch and 52-inch displays in portrait format.
