Abstract:
Since its inception in 1912, Sharp Corporation has traditionally been known for its new categories of 'never seen before' products. The latest in its innovations was unveiled in July 2005, when the company started the mass production of the world's first 'dual-function LCD' (liquid crystal display), which displays information in right and left viewing directions. Being a global leader in LCD technology, Sharp has also developed another variety of LCD, which can be switched between wide and narrow viewing angles. With a turnover of 2,539 billion yen by March 2005, Sharp expects additional revenue of about 10 billion yen from these two innovations by 2006.
