Sharp developed and released for commercial use the LZ0P420A infrared colour night-vision camera, the first product of its kind in the industry*1 that allows video capture in zero-lux settings. This product employs a CCD*2 jointly developed by Sharp and the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST).

Based on Sharp research. *2 This camera’s night-vision image sensor (CCD) is based on colour night-vision technology developed by AIST (announced by AIST on February 8, 2011 and December 3, 2012). The image sensor (CCD) was developed jointly by Sharp Corporation and AIST (announced by AIST on May 14, 2014). <\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1559,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"class_list":["post-2534","sharp-history","type-sharp-history","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
