12 In the 21st century, energy conservation and the environment are issues more important than ever before. At Sharp, we feel it is our duty to create products which save on energy and resources in order to minimize the impact on environmental quality. AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions, designed according to Sharp's strict environmental standards, use fewer raw materials during manufacturing, consume less power during use, and are easier to recycle at the end of service life than traditional CRT televisions. A WHOLE NEW PERSPECTIVE ON TELEVISION From the inviting, sleek contemporary design, to the startling clarity of the revolutionary LCD panel, AQUOS was designed to enhance every aspect of your television experience. Besides taking television to a new level of performance, AQUOS brings unprecedented practicality as well. 13-inch, 15-inch and 20-inch sizes allow you to bring amazing television into every corner of your home. Plus all AQUOS offer component video, S-video, composite video and RF inputs. And that s just the beginning. EARTH-FRIENDLY DESIGN Thanks to their compact size, AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions require fewer parts and less packaging than conventional CRT televisions. The main unit employs non-halogen materials and lead-free solder, while the base stand is made of 30% recycled materials. The entire unit is structurally designed for easy disassembly and uses unified grades of noncombustible materials for easier recycling. What s more, Sharp has eliminated the use of polystyrene packaging and molded parts that contain vinyl chloride, further reducing the burden on the environment. LOW POWER CONSUMPTION As the ideal television for the 21st century, AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions consume 30 to 50% less than comparably sized CRT televisions, which not only makes them more economical, but also contributes to the reduction of global CO 2 emissions. LONG-LIFE BACKLIGHT SYSTEM A redesigned backlight system minimizes light loss, providing a long lamp life of about 60,000 hours (when used continuously in a room at 25 C and in standard lighting conditions and brightness). AQUOS Liquid Crystal Televisions also feature an Auto-Save function that automatically adjusts the brightness of the backlight to match ambient light conditions, contributing to further energy savings. 10
