Famous global technology giant Sharp celebrates its 110th anniversary this year. In a very competitive market, after more than a century of success, Sharp continues on the path of dynamism, ambition and creative genius by announcing the development of new products that will cause a sensation.
In the vast movement of technological acceleration of the last century, Sharp was a pioneer and leader in the development of calculators. In 1953, Sharp launches first mass production of TVs in Japan, thereby accelerating Sharp's development into a comprehensive electronics company. From 1976, Sharp develops a TV just 3 cm thick. In 1991, tech giant Sharp introduces the world's first wall-mounted LCD TV. The company is also successful in the field air treatment, such as air purifiers and dehumidifiers with its patented Plasmacluster technology, developed in collaboration with independent research organizations around the world. 110 years later, Sharp's product line is massive and diverse, but the dynamic remains the same. Sharp now aims to “change the world” with 8K+5G and AIoT technologies. 8K+5G technology creates images that reveal a world beyond everyday reality. AIoT connects people and society through artificial intelligence and IoT technology.

How it all started…
Sharp's history of innovation and product design is representative of Japanese history. After humble beginnings, the founder of Sharp, Tokuji Hayakawa, opened a metallurgical workshop in Tokyo in September 1912. This is where he invented the snap belt buckle and the Ever Ready Sharp Pencil., a popular rotating mechanical pencil that would later give rise to the Sharp brand. Building on the company credo (“sincerity and creativity”), and on the objective of its founder to “make products that other companies will want to imitate”, Sharp has continued over the decades to introduce original products and solutions and is making a significant contribution to shaping the future of electronics..
