Super-high Luminosity
Use of Quattron along with other new
technologies enhances light utilisation efficiency
to more than 1.8 times*1the previous total,
delivering a bright picture even for 3D.
*1 Brightness for 3-D picture display compared with brightness of Sharp liquid
crystal display without 4-primary colour technology or UV2A technology.
Reduced Crosstalk*2
Sharp’s unique technology delivers high-
quality 3D by reducing the ghost images (i.e.,
crosstalk*2) that often occur in 3D reproduction.
*2 Crosstalk occurs when the image for the left eye and image for the right eye
overlap. The perception of depth in a 3D image is produced using separate
images for the left eye and for the right eye.
Vividly Clear 3D Reproduction
Full colour reproduction and high-contrast, clear
expression from Quattron 3D technology provide
an unprecedented degree of realism for home
video.
Energy Savings
The high transmittance of the new 4-primary
colour filter in Quattron enables lower power
consumption by using the LED backlight more
efficiently than does a conventional panel.
Using the yellow colour component improves
efficiency for higher brightness.

Principles of AQUOS Quattron 3D
When we view an object, our left eye and right eye each look from slightly
different angles. The difference in these viewing angles, i.e., parallax, enables
processing in the brain to produce one image with perception of the depth using
the images from the left eye and right eye. With a 3D image, perception of height,
width, and depth is achieved by separately projecting to the left eye an image
recorded at one angle for the left eye and projecting to the right eye and image
recorded for the right eye at another angle.
With Sharp’s active shutter system, lenses in special glasses turn on and off
in synchronization with an image recorded at one angle for the left eye and an
image recorded at another angle for the right eye. This system produces a high-
quality 3D image in full high-definition.
Note: The concept of four primary colours for 3D Quattron is based on
characteristics of liquid crystal display and differs from the general concept of
three primary colours in optics.
Note: Special 3D glasses (supplied or optional) are required for viewing 3D.

Frame Rate Enhanced Driving (FRED) Technology:
3D Display High-Speed LC Panel Drive Technology
Conventional 3D display uses two signal lines for high-speed LC
panel drive. UV²A technology, in contrast, enables high-speed
response using only one signal line for high-speed LC drive. This
reduces wiring and components in the LC panel and improves
light utilization efficiency, providing a bright picture with low power
consumption.
4 Primary Colour Technology System and
X-Gen Panel Technology
The newly developed 4 primary colour system and X-Gen panel
are Sharp’s unique leading-edge technologies that dramatically
improve colour expressiveness and picture quality to an
unprecedented degree. The 4-colour system adds yellow
reproduction to the conventional primary colours of red, green,
and blue (RGB plus Y). This markedly enhanced yellow
reproduction provides an unprecedented wide range in gradations
to deliver colours just as they are in nature.
Compared with the conventional 3 primary colour panel’s 6.2
million dots, the more than 8 million dots of the 4 primary colour
system deliver greater precision with unprecedented colour
expression through the addition of yellow.
Scanning LED Backlight Technology
The new AQUOS TVs include scanning LED backlight technology
for reduction of crosstalk*1 in 3D images, in addition to 100Hz
double-frame drive and double-speed scanning technology to
reduce afterimages in pictures with rapid motion. This new
technology limits crosstalk by reducing the optical perception of
afterimages using high-speed on/off light control and separate
drive.
* 1 Crosstalk occurs when the image for the left eye and image for the right eye overlap. The
perception of depth in a 3D image is produced using separate images for the left eye and for the
right eye.

X-Gen Panel
The next-generation LCD panels are produced using Sharp’s uniquely developed UV2A photo-
alignment technology. Together with fast response, this technology achieves a higher contrast
ratio by enhancing light efficiency and eliminating backlight leakage to deliver the deepest black
as well as the brightest white.
High-efficiency LED Backlight
Using LEDs as the light source in AQUOS enables precise brightness control and high-speed
response. With LED light diffusion technology, the entire screen is lit with high efficiency and
consistency in brightness.
Combined with the next-generation X-Gen panel, AQUOS achieves a higher contrast ratio and
delivers vibrant red colours with deeper black for high-precision detail in dark scenes.
Enabling Higher Brightness with Less Power and Expressing Vivid Intermediate Colours
Why yellow? Conventional RGB displays need excessive lighting to produce vivid intermediate colours, such as yellow,
cyan and magenta, and high brightness from all light sources to deliver a bright picture. Yellow is the solution to
enable both a wider colour gamut and brighter picture with less power.
Home Network (LE830M/ LE925M/ LE820M only)
DLNA®(Digital Living Network Alliance®)
The digitalization of audio-visual equipment has improved compatibility to handle digital image,
