Sales of Digital Information Equipment for the third quarter were up over the previous quarter by 23.5% to 216.9 billion yen, while operating income increased 3.8 fold to 8.4 billion yen.
The full year forecast for operating income has been revised based on results for the first three quarters.
LCD TVs
Sales grew in Japan, where the market appeared to have bottomed out. Europe, the U.S., and China showed growth in sales volume as well. We are looking to boost sales of high-definition LCD TVs such as 4K AQUOS and Quattron Pro, and enhance the lineup of 60-inch and larger models, as well as increase sales in emerging countries and other important regions.
The full year forecast for sales in value has been revised.
Mobile phones
Sales of mobile phones significantly increased both in value and volume basis compared to the previous quarter, due to new product introduction.
This business is anticipated to remain under a harsh market environment, primarily because competition is intensifying with overseas mobile phone manufacturers. Sharp will boost sales through the creation of uniquely featured phones, such as IGZO models with high definition and low power consumption capability, and models with large screens and thin bezels.

Sales of Business Solutions were down 4.5% over the previous quarter to 77.1 billion yen, and operating income was 6.1 billion yen, down 26.3%, due mainly to seasonal factors and intensifying competition.
We will strive to expand business by offering solutions that tap into new customers, with a focus on Sharp’s strength of unique displays and MFPs, and by strengthening direct-sales systems.

Sales of LCDs decreased 2.5% from the previous quarter to 277.5 billion yen, due primarily to price drops in large-size LCDs, although sales of small- and medium-size LCDs grew, mainly for smartphone applications. On the other hand, operating income increased by 43.1% to 26.0 billion yen, partly owing to engineering business activities such as patent operations.
We will continue to keep our eyes on market trends and individual user demand, promote design-in activities that will gain new customers, and strengthen our stable customer base. This will help us secure stable operation of our plants and boost profitability.
Based on results for the first three quarters and factors such as the risk of price drops in LCD panels in the fourth quarter, we have revised the full year forecast.

Sales of Electronic Devices achieved a 23.0% increase over the previous quarter to 106.4 billion yen, due to steady growth in products such as camera modules for mobile devices. However, the effect of price drops led to an 18.0% decrease in operating income to 4.2 billion yen.
We will step up efforts to boost sales of proprietary devices, such as highly functional camera modules and sensors for smartphones and tablet terminals.
