Sharp Imaging and Information Company of America (SIICA), a division of Sharp Electronics Corporation, launched three new 4K Ultra HD resolution large-format AQUOS BOARD interactive display systems with built-in wireless and whiteboard functionality utilizing its embedded SoC (system-on-chip) controller.

Sharp’s new 85″ Class PN-L851H, 75″ Class PN-L751H and 65″ Class PN-L651H interactive displays are built for users who need the ability to deploy easy-to-operate, high resolution meeting communication. The 4K Ultra HD (3,840 X 2,160) resolution allows meeting participants to see details and small text, which can be important in a myriad of professional and higher-educational settings.

The displays’ InGlass™ touch technology provides a semi-flat surface that allows for more comfortable writing with a more accurate touch response. The SHARP Touch Viewer™ application, which runs on an optional Windows PC, allows for easy manipulation of different types of files, including Microsoft Office^® applications, videos and web pages. Since the LCD panel recognizes up to 20 touch points, multiple people can use their finger or touch pen to add input to projects. Additionally, onscreen content, including handwritten notes, can be shared simultaneously with up to 50 devices.

The pre-installed, built-in controller allows the user to operate the whiteboard easily without the need to connect to a dedicated PC. When the main unit is started, the interactive whiteboard launcher is displayed automatically. Users can then simply touch the icons on the screen for instant access to the features they want to use. The SHARP Display Connect™ wireless software allows the screen of any Windows^® PC or Android mobile device to be wirelessly projected. Users can capture the images wirelessly projected on the screen, and add annotations to that captured image with the Sharp Pen-on-Paper^® experience, which gives writing a natural feel as if using a traditional pen on paper.

According to PMA Research, the large screen display experts, in the January 2019 edition of their U.S. Distributor Flat Panel Tracking Service Report, Sharp (SIICA) was the top selling volume and revenue share brand of 60”+ professional flat panel interactive touch displays through U.S. professional display distributor sales channels.
