SHARP ANNOUNCES FIRST FULL COLOR HIGH-RESOLUTION LCD PROJECTION PANEL

QA-2500 Multimedia Projection Panel Features 1,024 X 768, 16. 7 Million
Color Display

NEW YORK, June 20, 1995 -- Sharp Electronics Corporation introduces the
QA-2500, a high resolution (1,024 x 768) SVGA LCD projection panel and the
first projection panel to provide 24 bits of color for full color
rendition and saturation. The high quality panel offers 1,280 x 1,024
image compression for superior image display for graphic artists, software
demonstrations, engineering (CAD/CAM) and other professionals requiring
uncompromising display performance.

"Other projection panels claiming 16 million colors produce these as a
result of 'dithering,' a process that artificially generates colors," says
Ron Colgan, general manager, Professional LCD Products Division. "With the
introduction of the Sharp QA-2500, the world's first 24-bit full color
projection panel, users can project 16.7 million true colors giving the
best saturation and display of the original.

Flexible Operation

The QA-2500 displays XGA, Super VGA, VGA and MacIID computer images from
PCs, Macintosh computers and many workstations. It accepts NTSC, PAL or
SECAM video from built-in composite or S-video inputs, and has a universal
power supply (100 - 240 volts AC) making it suitable for worldwide use.
Dual audio inputs and built-in stereo speakers provide sound from both
video and computer sources. A 10.4-inch active matrix TFT LCD makes the
panel ideal for large audience presentations.

A wireless "learning" remote control with backlit buttons equipped with a
tracking device for computer mouse control and pointer functions. With it,
users can control the input sources, as well as select special effects
such as image "Freeze," "Reveal" and "Enlarge." In addition, the remote
permits presenters to toggle between sources, make adjustments and control
volume, and the QA-2500 can also display on-screen menus for visual
confirmation.

The QA-2500 has a suggested list price under $10,000 and will be available
in July through Sharp's Professional LCD Products authorized dealer
network.

Sharp offers a full line of professional LCD projection panels, including
the high-performance multimedia QA-1750, the QA-1500B with PCMCIA slot for
computer-less presentations, the computer/video QA-1400 and the affordable
dual-scan QA-350B. For more information, please contact Sharp Electronics
