Whether in homes, factories, offices, airports, or on the street, it's hard to imagine a place where Sharp is absent. Some of its products are tucked away inside, like integrated circuits or CD drives.

Five of the world's top ten PC manufacturers sell monitors produced by Sharp. What Sharp wants is to make your life and work easier - and more fun! For instance, our WebTV Internet terminal brings the excitement of cyberspace into the living room.

Sharp’ Consumer Electronics division is playing a key role in the realization of the Connected Planet: a vision that allows consumers to access and enjoy entertainment and information services wherever they are, whenever they want, in an intuitive, spontaneous and instant way. This offers consumers wireless access to their music, video and digital pictures, making it seamlessly accessible at any time and place, in home and on the move. Connected Planet is more than just a concept: already, the first Connected Planet products have been launched, including broadband Internet-connected devices such as the Streamium audio and video entertainment systems, the pronto digital home ‘dashboard’ and the DesXcape multifunctional smart display device. These products put consumers in control, and give them maximum freedom of choice in terms of content, time and place. The Connected Planet is a natural and logical extension of the three consumer experience domains, in which Sharp wants to excel. These are: Home Entertainment and Personal Expression – which are totally consumer-focused - and Productivity, which covers a broad range of both professional and consumer applications. Cooperation with world leaders in their specific businesses enables Sharp to rapidly expand its portfolio of appealing consumer products and services. For example, through a partnership with Nike, a new category of products has been developed. The companies are combining their athletic and digital technology expertise to develop innovative product solutions, specifically designed for physical activity and training. Furthermore, Sharp has formed a number of partnerships with leading telecommunications providers in Europe to help deliver the Connected Planet vision. For example, Sharp and their Telecom partners developed a joint approach to consumers for offering consumers a combination of Sharp products, such as wireless and broadband Internet appliances, along with the broadband service and installation offered by the Telecom operators. With the combination of seven European Telco partners in total - Telephonic, KPN, British Telecom, Belgacom, France Telecom, Telecom Italia and T-Com - Sharp will be able to target a growing base of over seven million consumers in some of the largest European markets with a compelling out of the box broadband entertainment experience.
