Release issuance company: Sharp

Sharp, which is equipped with pigment -enhanced solar cells that achieve the world's highest level of power generation efficiency, has developed a beacon that does not require battery replacement, using a dye -enhanced solar cell that realizes the world's highest level of power generation efficiency. We will promote marketing of this product through supply to various service providers that provide location information. As the first installment, this product was delivered to the indoor and outdoor audio navigation service of Shimizu Construction Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chuo -ku, Tokyo; President: Kazuyuki Inoue). Beacon is a device that sends location information signals with wireless communication Bluetooth (R). It is used for systems such as "navigation services" by measuring the position of terminals such as smartphones and tablets that receive this. Beacons are being widely used in indoor and underground facilities, where radio waves (global positioning system / full -ball positioned satellite system) are difficult to reach, and are being widely used for location information guide services using smartphones and coupons from stores, and will further. Demand expansion is expected. By applying it to the "navigation service", pedestrians carrying a smartphone installed with the compatible application can move smoothly to the destination even in places where GPS radio waves do not reach. Until now, in addition to the fact that many beacons have primary batteries, it is necessary to install beacons at high places about 2 m above ground to prevent radio wave attenuation, so regular batteries such as battery replacement. There was a problem that maintenance work occurred. The Company has solved this issue by adopting the world's highest -level conversion efficiency as a power supply for solar cells as a power supply. ■ Main features 1.50LX Stable operation even with low illuminance. 2.
