Watch TV Carbon Free! The Solar Powered LCD Television

At the G8 Summit, Sharp introduced a television technology that makes a lot of sense to me: A Television that provides it’s own power! It’s done through a thin solar panel technology and begs only one question of me. Must you watch it outside?


The set has a contrast ratio of 10000:1 and a 20mm thick display panel. It requires about 30% less power than regular LCD TVs and gets its juice from one of Sharp’s triple-junction thin-film solar cell modules. The modules are about the same size as the television’s screen.

Sharp plans to market the LCD and the energy system as a pair and says that its product could be a hit with both people living off the grid and environmentally-conscious consumers. The company will be exhibiting this, and other energy-saving technologies, at the G8 summit on Monday.
