Sharp said Friday it would begin selling a 65-inch LCD television, the biggest in the world, encroaching on the turf of Matsushita Electric Industrial and other makers of plasma TVs.
Sharp, the world's largest LCD TV producer, already markets a 45-inch model and is keen to expand its footprint in the fast-growing market for flat TVs above 40 inches, a segment now dominated by plasma and rear-projection models.
The Osaka-based company said it would launch the 65-inch TV in August in Japan with an expected selling price of 1.68 million yen ($15,580). It plans to introduce the TV in the United States and other overseas markets by the end of this year.
