Company Profile

Founded in 1995, Sharp Labs is Sharp Corporation's first and only U.S.-based research and development laboratory. From the start, we've had exceptional autonomy to focus on the trends, technology issues, and product demands of North American markets and to develop technologies to match. This perspective has led to breakthrough innovations that have found their way into Sharp products sold throughout the world. Having filed more than 2,000 patent applications since our founding, Sharp Labs aims high, toward ideas that can profoundly affect how people interact with and benefit from technology. That's an expectation innate to the values of Sharp Corporation, the company which developed the first practical handheld calculators, flat panel displays, and the cell phone camera to name but a few.
