Consumer/Information Products
●Audio-Visual and Communication Equipment
Sharp worked on further sales expansion of LCDs by
widening its lineup to meet with the coming digital high-definition
era. Especially, the sales of large-size wide-screen LCD
models equipped with LCD panels manufactured at the
Kameyama Plant were in good shape. As for mobile phones,
in Japan, Sharp worked to expand sales of mobile phones by
rolling out a new series of 3G mobile phones equipped with
unique electronic devices, including Mobile ASV LCDs and high-
resolution CCD camera modules. Overseas, Sharp sought to
boost sales of its cutting-edge mobile phones incorporated with
such distinctive devices, especially in Europe. The growth in
sales of these products exceeded sales decrease of
conventional products such as CRT TVs and facsimiles. Sales
in this group increased by 16.1% to ¥972,563 million.
●Home Appliances
Under the persistently tough business environment caused
by intensifying competition and price erosion, Sharp strove to
expand its range of unique products, including Water Oven that
roasts food by superheated steam, and air conditioners and
refrigerators with built-in Plasmacluster Ion generating units. Sales
in this group increased by 1.7% to ¥212,064 million.
●Information Equipment
As the unique data security functionality of copier/printers were
well-received by the market, those sales, especially digital full-
color copiers, increased. Conversely, sales of PCs declined due
to a fall in sales prices. However, sales in this group increased
by 6.0% to ¥416,310 million.

●ICs
