Japan : New 3G model features “Cycloid Style” rotating
display for easy mobile TV viewing
Vodafone K.K.
announced the development of the Vodafone 905SH by Sharp, a new 3G
handset capable of receiving “One Seg” terrestrial digital
TV broadcasts. The new model is planned for June 2006, a time scheduled
for international football matches.

The Vodafone 905SH
features a “Cycloid Style” LCD that can rotate 90 degrees
to a horizontal position. This design innovation enables customers
to enjoy digital TV broadcasts in 400 x 240 pixel resolution, full
widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio format.

In addition to
hand-held viewing, the Vodafone 905SH is also great for relaxed TV
enjoyment at home—even in open position, the handset is stable
when placed on a flat surface and set at a desired viewing angle.
The handset has a large-size 2.6-inch Mobile ASV LCD, which is based
on ASV (Advanced Super View) technology for vivid, wide-angle viewing,
found in Sharp’s AQUOS line of LCD TVs. A 6 colour filter also
enables unrivaled colour purity in digital and analogue TV broadcasts,
even while outdoors.
The main features
of the Vodafone 905SH are as follows:
· Capable
of receiving terrestrial digital and analogue TV broadcasts
· “Cycloid
Style” 90 degree rotating LCD, optimal for watching TV
· Large-size
2.6-inch Mobile ASV LCD, for high-resolution, widescreen TV viewing
