Reference designs are ready for mobile multimedia
Sharp Microelectronics of the Americas has developed two new reference designs to address the growing category of portable multimedia applications.
One-Seg-compatible mobile phones are capable of receiving terrestrial digital TV broadcasts.
The total number of shipments of such phones is expected to surpass 10 million in Japan this summer.
Because similar broadcasting services have already started in Europe and the US, world demand for mobile phones able to receive digital TV broadcasting is expected to increase.
The new LCD allows users to see clearer, more colorful images than can be seen on conventional mobile equipment.
This autumn, Sharp is scheduled to make a sample shipment of the new LCDs for One-Seg-compatible mobile phones.
Sharp will then use the new LCDs to expand its lineup of mobile phones and to further develop the application of these new LCDs in digital cameras.
In the future, Sharp will develop proprietary LCDs based on new technologies not only for large LCDs for TVs but also for small and medium-size applications and will contribute to further advances in mobile equipment.
