business, security, advertising, banners, and so on.

the release of 8K related products in Japan. In October 2015 alone, at least

sophisticated, wideband digital satellite receiver compatible with
ultra-high-definition (UHD) 8K broadcasts in 2016, followed in June 2017 with
the launch of the 8K monitor measuring 70 inches.

tag resminyapun unfortunately has not been revealed by Sharp so far. But when
referring from what was launched by Nikkei Asian Review, TV Aquos 8K 70 inch
which will soon be marketed Sharp reportedly priced around $ 9,000 (± 120
million dollars) per unit.
So far Sharp seems to be eager to pamper its loyal customers
around the world to experience the sensation of its revolutionary technology.

China in October 2017 and followed for the Japanese market in December 2017. As

other 8K products. All this is done Sharp as a first step to lead the world by
building an integrated 8K ecosystem which is the main medium-term strategy.
