Sharp officials pose beside the 80-inch touch panel display
Sharp Middle East has officially launched its 80-inch touch panel display in Qatar during Sharp’s ‘Bigger is Better’ partner event held recently.
The launch further enhances Sharp’s reputation as a world leader in large screen interactive touch-panel display systems. 
The 80-inch panel, manufactured by Sharp’s Gen-10 LCD manufacturing facility in Sakai City, Japan, combines a high-performance interactive display with a well-designed, comprehensive system for uniquely collaborative sessions – and continues to set a new standard in price-performance for touchscreen displays.
This latest addition to Sharp’s evolving family of state-of-the-art large panel touchscreen displays and now available in Qatar, complements the existing 60-inch (60 1/32” diagonal) and 70-inch (69-1/2” diagonal) models.
“Similar to what our innovative and industry leading large screen TVs are doing for the home, Sharp’s large screen interactive touch panel display systems are revolutionising the workplace,” Sharp Middle East Business Solutions division director Tomoo Shimizu said: “The 80-inch unit provides endless collaboration, information and entertainment options and is a welcome addition to Sharp’s family of solutions designed to improve our workplace lives.”
Designed to optimise and integrate a wide range of applications companies need in order to think big and disseminate information on a global scale – such as work group collaboration, video conferencing, interactive signage and video walls – the 80-inch panel delivers more than double the screen area of a 55-inch class display.
It is ideal for any setting that requires large-scale collaboration, information and entertainment options, including meeting rooms, office lobbies, schools, airports, malls, exhibition halls and hotels.
The IILED-80 offers business users seamless integration with presentation and video conferencing technologies, including WebEx, GoToMeeting and Skype.  Additionally, the system will be fully compatible with a full array of familiar Microsoft products. The 80-inch LED touch panel, with full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, is equipped with Sharp’s UV2A photo alignment and full array LED backlight technologies to create an energy-efficient screen that is easy to read in most environments, regardless of ambient light.
Users can make meetings more interactive by drawing and taking notes directly on-screen, and saving new versions to their PC or printing them to a connected Sharp Multifunction Product (MFP).
