This rugged LCD is targeted for manufacturers of next generation in-vehicle applications, such as navigation, auto PC/telematics, dashboard instrumentation, HUD and rear-seat entertainment.


The new ASV technology achieves wider side-to-side and up-down viewing angles, and offers designers greater improvements in both contrast and brightness.


The ASV technology advantages are derived from a brand-new LCD mode, developed by and proprietary to Sharp that offers distinctive improvements over conventional Twisted-Nematic (TN) displays.


Compared with current LCDs, which have been constrained by limited viewing angles, response times of 80 milliseconds (ms) or more and the presence of bright dot defects, the ASV LCD is greatly advanced in all three parameters.
