Last thursday, as Sharp Corporation is celebrating 100 years of innovation worldwide while vis-a-vis Sharp (Phils.) Corporation marks its 30th year, selected friends from business, Media and blogging community gathered at the Shang-Rila hotel to commemorate the successful decades of innovation. Despite the passage of time, there are no signs of the Sharp brand ever slowing down.
From introducing unique products that have improved lives all over the world to technology envisioned for our future, Sharp makes good on its commitment of creating a better life for all.

Indeed, this commitment has resulted in enhancing lives of Filipino consumers over the years, through the introduction of world-class products since the 80s’, ranging from TVs, washing machines and karaokes to its current lineup that includes top-of-the-line video and audio products, home appliances with Sharp’s proprietary plasmacluster air purification technology and other exciting new products that further strengthen Sharp’s status as one of the biggest names in consumer electronics. Moreover, beyond just providing the latest technology, Sharp acknowledges its industry-leading customer care program as partly responsible for its successful operations.
In the early 80s when SHARP Corporation in the Philippines was just starting out, production included anything from black and white TVs to cassette tape recorders. A run-through of this history provides a fascinating account indicative of just how much things have changed through all these years. But perhaps one of the most interesting things about said history is the company’s decision in 1986 to stay put and expand production capacities in the midst of one of the country’s more serious challenges in the EDSA Revolution.
It’s the same commitment that SHARP has stood by for all the other years the Philippines has had to go through economic crises and political upheavals, forging a relationship that goes much deeper than just making a profit. SHARP’s immersion into Philippine culture has given it a wonderful opportunity to design and produce products to suit the tastes of the Filipino consumer, and in so doing providing world-class products and technology to enhance every Filipino’s quality of life.
GOING GREEN
Sharp’s poly-crystalline silicon (PSC) solar panels are now in use at a Cepalco operated farm in Cagayan, the first solar farm in the country. The PSC panels and the newer thin-film panels are widely utilized in other parts of the world for navigational systems, satellites, skyscrapers, and other commercial applications. Photovoltaic technology will no doubt be even more popular as the company continues on its quest to make its solar panels more efficient and more accessible.
Closer to home, Sharp’s wide range of consumer products also do their share in conserving the environment. Technology in the home has truly gone a long way with Sharp. Appliances are incorporated with Plasmacluster Ion Technology that suppresses harmful airborne elements to promote a clean indoor environment. These are of course found in Sharp air purifiers, ion generators, air-conditioners and refrigerators.
And while Sharp’s new UV2A technology in its Quattron LCD TV also does its part in creating a more power efficient TV, the fact that it is the first in the industry to have the proprietary RGB+Y (red, green, blue + yellow) technology means it can easily handle advanced picture quality and maximum color precision that only Sharp can provide.
Times have surely changed much in the past 100 years, but Sharp’s approach of developing products to fit our lifestyle and to benefit our future and those of the coming generations will always remain timeless.
