Sharp shows off 52-inch solar-powered LCD TV at CEATEC

by Darren Murph, posted Oct 6th 2008 at 10:29PM

We've seen some fairly fascinating things at CEATEC this year, but this one could be the biggest game-changer of 'em all, if you'll allow us just one buzzword. The LED-backlit 52-incher you see above comes attached to a not-at-all convenient solar floor panel which presumably provides at least some of the energy required to power this thing. We've no clue how close the design is to being viable for the commercial realm, but we'd say Sharp's definitely headed in the right direction here.

"Sharp's definitely headed in the right direction here"

Yeah, because I do most of my TV watching outside in the sun.
