During the Hokkaido Toyako Summit (July 7-9, 2008), Sharp will exhibit its environmentally conscious products and advanced environmental technologies, specifically, LCD TVs and solar cells and modules. One of the exhibit is the 26V-inch Low ability Consumption LCD TV (Prototype) which approximately uses one-fourth ability of a 28-inch CRT TV having nearly the same screen area. Even compared to existing LCD TVs, the low potential consuming design uses about one-third the ability and has around one-half the annual energy consumption.

The extremely low ability consumption of Sharp LCD

TV means it can additionally be run, for example, from a solar module whose surface area roughly equals the viewing area of the screen. Marketing a combination of that LCD TV paired with a solar energy system will not only contribute to the environment, but plus build it possible to watch TV even in areas where utility-supplied electricity is unavailable.

An estimated 1.6 billion citizens are said to live in such areas worldwide, and that pairing could be expected to aid in improving the lives of these citizens.
