Sharp 26V-inch Low Power Consumption LCD TV can run from a solar module!: During the Hokkaido Toyako Summit (July 7-9, 2008), Sharp will exhibit its environmentally conscious products and advanced environmental technologies, specifically, LCD TVs and solar cells and modules. One of the exhibit is the 26V-inch Low Power Consumption LCD TV (Prototype) which approximately uses one-fourth power of a 28-inch CRT TV having nearly the same screen area. Even compared to existing LCD TVs, the low power consuming design uses about one-third the power and has around one-half the annual energy consumption. The extremely low power consumption of Sharp LCD TV means it can also be run, for example, from a solar module whose surface area roughly equals the viewing area of the screen. Marketing a combination of this LCD TV paired with a solar energy system will not only contribute to the environment, but also make it possible to watch TV even in areas where utility-supplied electricity is unavailable.

Sharp to launch Worlds brightest Solar-Powered LED Street Light with Seismic Motion Sensor: Sharp will introduce two models of solar-powered LED street lights that combine Sharp’s proprietary solar (photovoltaic) modules and high-intensity, long-life white LEDs for the Japanese market on August 21, 2008. The Sharp LN-LW3A1 Solar-Powered LED Street Light delivers brightness at the industry’s highest level rivaling the light output from a regular 32-W fluorescent security light (which uses six compact fluorescent tubes) that is becoming the dominant product for this application. The Sharp LN-LS2A1 provides light output comparable to the 20-W class of security lights and is ideal for spot lighting in areas such as public parks. These units also feature a Seismic Motion Sensor that detects the occurrence of a major earthquake measuring 5 or greater on the Japanese seismic scale and turns on the unit at full brightness during nighttime hours for two days. This allows these units to serve as emergency lights in case of a power interruption in the surrounding area.

Fujitsu Media develops world's smallest SAW duplexers and filters for W-CDMA: Fujitsu Media has developed the world's smallest SAW duplexers (for bands I, II, IV, V and VIII) for W-CDMA mobile phones and SAW filters for GSM (850, 900, 1800 and 1900) technology, using a hermetic seal structure. Use of these devices will contribute to the production of smaller and more advanced mobile phones that can be used worldwide. The devices are compatible with interfaces for the currently predominant transceiver ICs. The SAW duplexers use a 50Ω unbalanced interface for the antenna and transmitter pins and a 100Ω balanced interface for the receiver pins. The SAW filter's input interface is 50Ω, unbalanced, and the output interface is 150Ω, balanced.
