We are responsible for audio-visual devices such as AQUOS TVs, and also develop devices such as Blu-ray disc recorders and audio equipment.

Furthermore, we are working on the development of 8K-related products, the evolution of smart TVs, and our solutions business. In the field of audio-visual devices, we will continue to create unique technologies that are always one step ahead of the competition and strong product lineups with distinctive features, thereby providing customers with fresh value and inspiration.

AQUOS

We have a sense of pride and responsibility for the AQUOS brand, and we aim to create products that give customers even more enjoyment. With this in mind, we will continue our single-minded efforts toward a culture that overflows with enthusiasm and creativity. This is sure to create value that touches the hearts of our customers through groundbreaking technologies, and it is our driving force as Japan’s top TV manufacturer.

Outstanding picture quality experience

The products we have developed include our two flagship models: XLED, the ultimate LCD TV; and quantum dot organic LED (QD-OLED), the ultimate organic electroluminescent (EL) TV. The vibrant colors and luminosity of these models are produced by cutting-edge mini-LED backlight and quantum dot technologies, delivering an irresistible high-resolution experience.

Enriching lifestyles with smart TVs

Smart TVs featuring Google TV enable users to enjoy on a big screen the popular video apps they often watch on their smartphones. These TVs also have functionality that allows voice-activated searches, and by attaching an external USB webcam, to have big-screen video chats with friends and family members in distant locations.
Furthermore, our smart TVs can be used not just for watching TV shows but in various ways more suited to the times. For example, users can simultaneously display a selfie video and a YouTube video in two windows on the same screen to have fun dancing or exercising in front of the big-screen TV in their living room.

Expanding Sharp TVs worldwide

To bring Sharp TVs to customers around the world, we plan and develop products according to the times while understanding the market in each country and assessing the needs of the people who live there. Through such TVs, both Sharp and the whole industry are seeking product planning that gives birth to fresh demand.
We are looking for personnel who can join us to discover new value and functionality that users have never experienced before, and who can take on new challenges with a sense of curiosity.

Proposing new viewing styles with a 3D audio strategy

Based on the concept of three different styles of 3D audio, we are developing audio products that link with TVs to make them even more exciting.
Sound Partner, soundbar, and home theater deliver 3D audio experiences that are bursting with realism and easy to use in keeping with users’ home lifestyles.

and Satellite Communications BusinessMobile Communication Business Unit (MCB)Bases: Higashi-Hiroshima City, Hiroshima; Chiba City, Chiba, etc.

Centered around our Head Office in Hiroshima and with bases in Chiba and Tokyo, we develop mobile communication devices such as smartphones, routers, and tablets, as well as corporate-oriented service solutions such as EMM services, which support the safe operation of smartphones at companies. As for new business areas, we are also working on XR products and satellite communications.
Going forward, our goal is to be a business entity that continues to provide new value by utilizing communications technologies and being attentive to people’s needs. We will also continue to take on the challenge of creating products, services, and solutions that bring happiness to people around the world in their everyday lives.

Smartphones

We have inherited the ambition of the Sharp Corporation’s founder, Tokuji Hayakawa, to “Make products that others want to imitate,” and have a tradition of taking on challenges. With communication technologies at the heart of our business, we have released a succession of products and technologies that were firsts for the industry, Japan, and the world, such as the first cell phone with an integral camera and the first with a color LCD screen.
Based on our business vision of changing the world with 8K + 5G and AIoT, in addition to communications, we utilize state-of-the-art technologies such as AI and sensing, and we will grow our business while making new proposals, and aiming to create the next step for smartphones.

Making XR devices the norm

To seamlessly expand the possibilities in business and everyday life, and to realize more advanced lifestyles and richer communication, we aim to generate new businesses in the fields of XR, automotive, and IoT. We are also developing products such as XR devices, in-vehicle multiple operation panels, and cashless transaction devices.
This is the ideal field for those who wish to improve their skills and pursue their vision for the future—one in which your ideas will be respected and supported, and you will be able to take on the challenge of creating new products and generating new businesses.

Making connections anytime and anywhere

The market scale of the satellite services field in the global market is expanding. With more and more countries working in outer space and the fact that commercial activities are flourishing there, this market is expected to grow to 100 trillion yen by 2040. In Japan, the main reasons for this are the spread of infrastructure toward regions in which it has yet to be established, and the maintenance of communications infrastructure at times of accident or disaster. These are the circumstances in which we are developing satellite communication antennas, and with the fusion of next-generation communication technologies, we will realize our goal of connecting people anytime, anywhere, and in any context.
