Sharp has been a vanguard for the new era by meeting diversified needs of society with many unique electronic components such as Opto-Device, Thin film transitor Liquid Crystal Display panels (TFT-LCD), LEDs, RF Component, Solar Panels and others.
PNLC and HR-TFT Modules Sharp's Polymer Networked Liquid Crystal (PNLC) - type Memory LCD is composed of a PNLC layer formed between a transparent surface electrode and mirror-reflective pixel electrodes.
The PNLC module uses a scattering mode and does not require polarizers, which results in a very bright reflective display. A 1-bit memory circuit is embedded into each pixel, which retains the pixel information once it's written.
Sharp's high-contrast HR-TFT technology adds a polarizer to the top layer to greatly enhance the contrast of the display. The black level is dramatically enhanced, resulting in an almost paper-like black and white image.
