New AQUOS Products Introduced/Report from the Sharp Booth
AQUOS New X Series Launched at CEATEC Japan 2008

Sharp introduced the X Series of AQUOS LCD TVs and hosted an exhibit at CEATEC Japan 2008, a comprehensive trade show for cutting-edge IT and electronics products held from September 30 to October 4 at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba Prefecture, Japan.

Sharp launched two models, the LC-65XS1 and LC-52XS1, of the X-Series of AQUOS LCD TVs. They feature a newly developed next-generation LCD with Mega ASV for amazing image quality, a revolutionary ultra-thin design, and outstanding environmental performance.

During the show, the Sharp booth showed off the X Series along with the rest of its diverse lineup of AQUOS LCD TVs, offering a wide range of styles to fit consumers' lives. The booth also included displays and demonstrations of Sharp's one-of-a-kind products such as AQUOS Blu-ray Disc players, mobile phones, and electronic dictionaries. Sharp also took the chance to introduce its efforts toward becoming an environmentally advanced company.
