Sharp Corp. said Thursday it expects to sell more than 1 million large LCD TVs in North America in the business year to March, about five times more than last year as demand surges in the U.S. market.
Sharp has been able to grow its share in the over-60-inch segment this year by expanding its product lineup to 18 models from last year's four and widening its sales channels, the firm said.
"It is very clear that our focus is more than 60 inches," Kozo Takahashi, Sharp's executive managing officer who oversees the North American market, said at a news conference in Osaka shown via teleconference in Tokyo.
