• Greener LCD TVs Not Too Far Off?


    09 July 2008

    The environmentalist movement should be pretty happy with Sharp’s new announcement. They are preparing to release their most environmentally friendly model yet. It takes the form of a 26-inch LCD that will use only 25% of the power that similar CRT versions would use. This new model on display at the G8 summit is a hopeful statement for the future of LCD televisions.


    Their other demonstration was an innovative solar powered model of the same television. A solar generator roughly the size of the television is included with the TV and is fully connected to provide its power. This match up is just a prototype for now, but they hope it can catch on in a few previously untapped markets. Their eyes are really looking at the nearly 1.6 billion people who do not have immediate access to electricity.
