Berlin, 1 September 2010
Visitors to the Sharp stand in Hall 18 at IFA 2010 will be treated to an extraordinary high definition LCD seamless panel display consisting of 54 60-inch panels. The narrow bezel between screens is a mere 6.5 millimetres wide*, meaning the total screen area is not broken up by large transitions.
The floor and wall video display, constructed from Sharp’s new PN-V601 professional LCD panels, is a key focus of the Sharp stand, and will display short films about Sharp’s business and product range at the show.
Some quick facts about the PN-V601 professional LCD panels:
- A full-screen LED backlight ensures that the monitor delivers brilliant, eye-catching pictures no matter what content is being shown.
- Sharp is the very first company to be able to manufacture panels from 10th-generation motherglass panels measuring 2.88 x 3.13 metres and to convert them into LCDs for professional monitors.
- The efficiency of the production method allows Sharp to market the screens at an attractive price while maintaining consistently high standards of quality.
- The displays for the new ultra-slim bezel monitors are manufactured in Sharp’s state-of-the-art factory in Sakai, Japan. With a monthly capacity of 72,000 motherglass panels, the Sakai plant now has the capacity to manufacture up to 432,000 displays per month.
Grace Liang, Commercial AV Product Manager at Sharp Electronics (UK) said; “Our PN-V601 represents a new benchmark for the slim bezel monitor market. With the new 60-inch screen size, a 13ft x 7ft video wall can be created with just nine monitors, where it would take sixteen competitive 46inch monitors to produce a comparable wall (100 square metres). This also means significant reductions in overall purchase, installation and power consumption costs, depending on the final wall size.”
The PN-V601 will be available in the UK towards the end of 2010.
