Forget 4K, Sharp Announces 70 inches Aquos 8K TV
Sharp Unveiled high resolution Television which is 16 times that of your Full HD (1920*1080) resolution.
Sharp Corporation announces the release of the AQUOS 8K Series of 8K-compatible TVs and displays, a world first. Positioned as the core of the 8K Ecosystem, Sharp’s key medium-term strategy, these products will be released in China in October, in Japan in December, in Taiwan in February 2018, and in Europe in March 2018.
8K is a revolutionary technology for ultra-high-definition images with 16 times the resolution of full-HD which could not be expressed with 4K images. It reproduces images at ultimate reality, with ultra-fine details even the naked eye cannot capture. Apart from displaying TV broadcasts and other media contents, 8K will dramatically impact many aspects of our lives: medicine, business, security, signage etc.
Sharp has been leading the industry by releasing 8K-related products in Japan. In October 2015, the company released an 85-inch 8K monitor using an 8K LCD panel, and the advanced wideband digital satellite broadcast receiver compatible with 8K ultra-high-definition (UHD) broadcasts in 2016, followed in June 2017 with the release of a 70-inch 8K monitor.
Sharp is eager to bring worldwide consumers the thrill of this revolutionary technology, and to this end it is releasing the world’s first 8K TV in Japan and China, and the world’s first 8K displays in Taiwan and Europe.
Sharp is also complementing its 8K TVs by accelerating development of 8K broadcast receivers, 8K cameras, and other 8K products to lead the world by establishing an 8K Ecosystem.
