Sharp today

We make products that others want to imitate.

"We make products that others want to imitate" is more than a motto – it stands for a corporate philosophy that has made Sharp the company it is today: innovation and technology leader in many areas and a synonym of high-quality, practical and aesthetic products which make life better and simpler.

Our portfolio ranges from high-quality AQUOS LCD TVs, via 1-bit audio systems, colour monitors, LCD TFTs for TVs and computer monitors, memory chips, DVD players and microwave ovens, to air conditioners.

We develop ideas

We do not just develop innovative products – we create new lifestyles for the 21st century. Our ideas improve, simplify and brighten up working life and everyday life, i.e. the world of offices, industry, entertainment and kitchen. In search of new dimensions in electronics, we rely on three pillars: Home, Office and Mobile Solutions

Success through research

Sharp's continuous success is the result of an exemplary research and development policy. The company invests 6.5 per cent of its net sales in research and development and over 8,000 researchers work at numerous Sharp research facilities all over the world. So, we are considerably contributing to the progress in microelectronics, for example.
