The human arsenal packs together a whole assortment of valuable abilities, and yet it still doesn’t have anything more significant on the offer than our ability to grow on a consistent basis. We say this because the stated reality has brought the world some huge milestones, with technology emerging as quite a major member of the group. The reason why we hold technology in such a high regard is, by and large, predicated upon its skill-set, which guided us towards a reality that nobody could have ever imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, if we look beyond the surface for one hot second, it will become abundantly clear how the whole runner was also very much inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component, in fact, did a lot to give the creation a spectrum-wide presence, and as a result, initiated a full-blown tech revolution. Of course, the next thing this revolution did was to scale up the human experience through some outright unique avenues, but even after achieving a feat so notable, technology will somehow continue to bring forth the right goods. The same has turned more and more evident in recent times, and assuming one new development ends up with the desired impact, it will only put that trend on a higher pedestal moving forward.
Sharp Electronics Corporation, a global leader in innovative technology solutions, is officially set to unveil a collection of new technologies at the CES, which will happen in Nevada and Los Angeles from January 9 to12. According to certain reports, these technologies will bring the future to your five senses by extending your sight, pleasing your taste buds, detecting the slightest differences in scents, replacing traditionally loud household products with quiet alternatives, and feeling your heartbeat with miniature wearable devices to read your vital signs. Talk about the whole exhibition on a slightly granular level, it will feature an AI avatar who is effectively going to play the role of a virtual concierge. Using CE-LLM edge AI technology, the AI avatar will be able to inform you on Sharp’s products through smooth, naturally paced, and lively conversations. Now, let’s get into the real value proposition, where you have a built-in high-speed oven which banks upon proprietary Quad Heating Technology and an industry-first Gold Carbon Heater to generate charcoal-grilled flavor, convection circulation, inverter control microwave, and intelligent cooking control. The reason why Sharp’s new oven is worth discussing has to do with how it is expected to reduce cooking time to as little as one-third of what is taken up by a conventional home oven. Next up, we have a new brand of camera technology, made up from polymer lenses, and support for XR technology, XR glasses, and AI-powered visual representations of business conversations and ideas. Then, there is an AI Olfactory Sensor in play. Bestowed with the same mechanism used by living organisms to sense odors, the AI Olfactory Sensor offers you target detection limit of 0.1 ppb (parts per billion). In practice, the exhibition is slated to show us the way Sharp’s AI Olfactory sensor can detect the subtle differences between, for example, different wine varieties. Coming back to the promised camera technology, it also has a dedicated driver monitoring camera in the mix, a camera which will be integrated into the dashboard LCD so to help your line of sight, head position, and orientation. Not just that, it will also help in timely identifying signs of drowsiness.
Further enhancing Sharp’s smart life prospects is a AQUOS XLED television, which combines mini-LED backlight, quantum-dot rich-color display technology, and immersive sound to help you access a realistic viewing sensation. Beyond performance, though, the company has also taken care of the sustainability aspect. You see, such consideration reveals itself once you move on to its low-power consumption outdoor display. The display notably came to fruition when Sharp placed a proprietary reflective structure next to low-frequency IGZO drive. Complimenting the same is an IMS (ion mobility spectrometry) gas analysis device, understood to be using atmospheric electron release technology. Anyway, another environmental-friendly component would be Sharp’s new ultra low power indoor display called ePoster. This ePoster is basically a by-product emerging from the combination of E Ink’s latest e-paper platform and IGZO technology. Just like its outdoor display, Sharp’s ePoster is also positioned to maintain high performance at an extremely low power consumption rate.
“As Sharp celebrates its 111th anniversary, Sharp is proud to lead the way in innovation and game-changing technologies,” said Jeff Ashida, Chairman, President & CEO of Sharp Electronics Corporation. “We are excited to share Sharp’s cutting-edge solutions that will define the next chapter of Sharp’s legacy at CES 2024.”
Hold on, there are still a few bits left to unpack, considering we still haven’t talked about the new indoor photovoltaic device, LC-LH. This device, on its part, leverages dye-sensitized solar cells and Sharp’s LCD technology to generate double the power efficiency of common indoor-light solar-powered devices. Owing to that potential, the company has also integrated LC-LH into a standard TV control, meaning you no longer need batteries to power it. Rounding up the environmental highlights is a space solar sheet, which explores next-generation solar cells for use in outer space. To aid that pursuit, it is made to be a thin, lightweight, and flexible, thus enabling huge amount of possibilities for moving vehicles and mobile equipment. Interestingly enough, rather than just focusing on wider sustainability, Sharp has also dedicated some attention towards improving the picture on a microscopic level, and it has done with a gas decomposition module. The stated module comes bearing a filter, which contains proprietary photocatalyst material to improve indoor air quality. Mind you, it can be used across a versatile set of conditions, including your home, workplace, or even in your car.
Looking beyond the atmospheric factors, there is a rejuvenated life/work experience up for grabs. This we can avail with a specialized XR glass. This XR glass will take AI-powered natural-speed conversation and integration framework for the purpose of using it alongside real-time information services, personal calendars, schedules, and contacts. Under ideal circumstances, the stated link-up will transform the way we interact with our digital life at home and work.
Founded in 1962, Sharp Electronics Corporation has risen up the ranks by providing innovative home and business solutions across both B2B and B2C sectors. The company’s excellence in helping people become better prepared for the future can also be understood if you just look at the fact that it has already been named in Fortune magazine’s World’s Most Admired Company List, which ranks the most respected and reputable companies across the entire globe.
