Sharp Canada Introduces Next-Generation EC Series dvLED Displays
Sharp Electronics of Canada Ltd. has officially launched its innovative EC Series dvLED, marking a significant advancement in the company's direct-view LED display portfolio. This new series represents a leap forward in display technology, specifically designed to meet the evolving needs of Canadian businesses and institutions seeking sustainable, cost-effective, and future-ready visual solutions.
Advanced COB Technology Drives Performance
At the heart of the EC Series lies advanced Chip-on-Board (COB) construction, a sophisticated manufacturing approach that bonds multiple LED chips directly onto the display substrate. This innovative design delivers substantial benefits throughout the product lifecycle, setting new standards for commercial display performance.
The COB technology enables:
- Superior energy efficiency: Power consumption can be reduced by up to 60% compared to traditional Surface-Mounted Device (SMD) LEDs, significantly lowering operational costs and environmental impact while maintaining exceptional brightness levels.
- Enhanced durability: Protective encapsulation creates a robust, touch-friendly surface that effectively resists dust, moisture, and physical impact, making these displays ideal for high-traffic environments and interactive applications.
- Outstanding image quality: Dense LED integration facilitates vivid color reproduction, deep blacks, and contrast ratios reaching up to 10,000:1, resulting in consistently crisp and uniform visual presentations.
Designed for Canadian Business Environments
The EC Series expands Sharp's E Series family with a new generation of direct-view LED displays specifically engineered for diverse professional applications across Canada. These displays are particularly well-suited for retail environments, corporate settings, educational institutions, and public spaces where reliable, high-impact visual communication is essential.
Sharp's intuitive cabinet design can reduce installation time by up to 50% compared to conventional dvLED systems. This streamlined approach, combined with lower operating costs and simplified deployment processes, makes the EC Series an exceptionally practical choice from initial setup through long-term operation.
Flexible Configuration Options
The EC Series offers versatile configuration possibilities with fine pixel pitches of 0.9, 1.2, 1.5, and 1.8 mm. This range ensures optimal resolution and viewing performance across various applications, from collaborative corporate spaces requiring detailed presentations to dynamic retail signage demanding eye-catching visuals.
"ISE 2026 provides the perfect platform to introduce the EC Series, showcasing more than just a new dvLED line and highlighting Sharp's comprehensive vision for visual display technology," explained David Oyagi, Category Business Manager for Visual Solutions at Sharp Electronics of Canada Ltd. "The EC Series delivers striking visuals, enhanced durability, improved energy efficiency, and simplified installation in a single platform, reinforcing Sharp's commitment to leading the dvLED market with solutions that are impressive, sustainable, and easy for customers to adopt from day one."
This launch represents Sharp Canada's ongoing dedication to providing Canadian organizations with cutting-edge display solutions that balance technological innovation with practical implementation considerations. The EC Series dvLED stands as a testament to the company's global leadership in display innovation, now tailored specifically for the Canadian market's unique requirements and sustainability goals.
