Sharp has introduced its latest innovation, a solar powered 26-inch LCD TV prototype, contributing in ‘Green World’ community.

The Sharp solar TV that runs on the power of the sun claims to consume only one-fourth of the power compared to a normal CRT Television. Moreover, the prototype boasts to have a total consumption of just one-third of the total power that is used by the normal TV annually.

This eco-friendly TV is powered by Sharp’s triple-junction thin-film solar cells modules. These modules are bundled with the LCD Television and claim to be as big as the LCD screen.

Sharp also showcased the 57-inch AQUOS TV, a solar-LED lighting module, and an ultra thin (20-mm) 65-inch LCD TV that utilizes merely half of the total energy consumed by the traditional LCD TVs use in the whole year.

There is more in the company’s kitty; Sharp also presented semi-transparent see-through solar cell module. Developed from a laser-trimming technology, the gizmo claims to produce optically transparent slits on the cell and use it as curtain walls or in skylights. According Physorg, it can be used as architectural elements.
