Sharp Laboratories of Europe was founded to contribute new ideas and technology to Sharp products and to support our major European customers. We are a UK company, wholly owned by Sharp of Japan. Being in Europe means that we can recruit some of the best European scientists and engineers and we can interact with leading European research institutions.

Our funding to do research and development comes from Sharp and in return we provide technology that can be used in Sharp products.
So far our technology has gone into mobile phones, smart cards, personal computers, laptops and displays for cars.

We have an ethos of respect for the individual, which shows in our teamwork, the diversity of our staff and our responsiveness to the customer.
