Sharp goes all in on AI at CES
Sharp is showing a wide range of technologies at CES 2024, from generative AI and AI enabled wine sensor to lightweight solar cells for space.
Sharp has developed its own large language edge AI technology, called CE-LLM (Communication Edge-LLM) that can provide naturally paced interactive conversations, as well as camera technology featuring polymer lenses and support for XR technology, XR glasses, and AI-powered visual representations of business conversations.
With technology inspired by the method living organisms use to sense odours, the AI Olfactory Sensor is designed with a target detection limit of 0.1 ppb (parts per billion) and can detect the subtle differences between wine varieties. An ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) gas analysis device using atmospheric electron release technology will also be displayed as well as an optical filter using semiconductor film-forming technology to sense pulse waves without contact. This is used for the world’s smallest pulse wave sensor for wearable devices such as earphones, rings, and eyeglasses.
- World’s first A2 colour ePoster and 32in e-display
- Sharp shows tandem solar module with record 33.66% efficiency
- US looks to standardise drink driving sensor tech
Sharp is also introducing a safe driving support system with a miniature camera and LCD. This is tuned to identify situations where the driver cannot maintain a consistent line of sight, the driver monitor camera can help detect drowsiness, unresponsiveness, and distracted driving and comes as the US is evaluating technologies to tackle distracted and impaired driving.
Sharp is also showing its Reflective LCD signage for outdoor use and ePoster colour electronic paper displays with low power consumption. An indoor photovoltaic device LC-LH, using indoor light for more efficient power generation will be demonstrated with a battery-free TV Remote Control featuring the LC-LH device.
The Space Solar Sheet, a thin, lightweight, and flexible next-generation solar cell module, will also be unveiled, aimed at space applications.
