as the last step of a long term implementation plan of Sharp and Rolic a
technology license agreement with Rolic Technologies Ltd., Switzerland,
pertaining to Rolic(R) LCMO, Rolic's Light Controlled Molecular Orientation

In 2009 Sharp has successfully introduced its UV2 A technology under
Rolic's technology license for the LCD TV production in Kameyama and Sakai,
which is utilizing Rolic(R) LCMO technology. As of today Sakai is the most
