Sharp showed a 32-inch 4K IGZO monitor, initially aimed at professional applications such as CAD, architecture and medical applications. The Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) technology increases the amount of light transmitted per pixel.

Sharp’s Dan Schmidt said that as a broadcast monitor, “I don’t know that we rigorously put it through its paces as far as a color spectrum goes — Rec 709 and making sure of its color accuracy… but it is definitely a real possibility.” (Rec 709 refers to an HDTV monitoring standard.)

It will be available in the coming months; pricing was not announced.

Sharp’s 4K lineup included 4K TVs — an ICC Purious-brand 60-inch model that is slated to ship this summer and an Aquos model planned for the second half of the year. Pricing is not yet determined.

The company again showed its prototype 85-inch 8K display, playing NHK Super Hi-Vision imagery. The demonstration generated crowds, as it did in 2012.

Sharp also featured a technical demonstration of flexible OLED technology. “It’s geared toward commercial applications such as digital signage, but we are not limiting what the applications could be,” Schmidt said.
