With the future implementation of its UV²A technology into LCD TV's, Sharp aims to revolutionize the quality of flat panel display performance.

UV²A technology builds upon Sharp’s proprietary ASV (Advanced Super View) technology, which precisely controls the movement of liquid crystal molecules within the LCD’s panel structure.

By employing a special material that reacts to ultraviolet radiation, the technology provides much greater control over the tilt angle of liquid crystal molecules. Sharp have called their new system 'pico-technology' which refers to the 'picometer' measurement of LCD accuracy.

Benefits of the new system include a dramatic reduction in light leakage with resulting contrast ratios up to 60% better than current levels. The tech will also result in greatly reduced running costs.

Interestingly, Sharp has said that the new UV²A panels will be ready for Quad HD and 3D technology. UV²A will be unveiled at this years CEATEC Expo in Tokyo with plans to build the technology into future LCD's TV's.
