The '''Sharp Aquos''' is a range of [[LCD television]]s and component screens made by [[Sharp Corporation]] of [[Japan]]. It encompasses small, portable models (e.g. the 13" B series) up to large home-theater screens (e.g. 65" high-definition widescreen models), as well as component screens for portable devices including mobile phones. Aquos was first released in 2001 with 13", 15", and 20" 4:3 sizes starting, pricing at $1,799.99, $2,999.99, and $4,999.99 respectively. Since then, the Aquos brand is Sharp's premium LCD line (as Sharp also makes non-Aquos LCD TVs that sell for less), and recently they have been the first series of LCD HDTVs to feature integrated [[Blu-ray]] Disc players with the BD-60U and BD-80U series debuting in 2009. Some Aquos LCD TVs are notable for displaying color in a [[Quattron|RYGB color space]] known as [[Quattron]], which adds a yellow component, as opposed to the standard [[RGB color space]] used by most color televisions. Initial models in the Aquos range were designed by noted Japanese industrial designer [[Toshiyuki Kita]].{{Citation needed|date=July 2010}} [[George Takei]] is the spokesman for the line.{{fact|date=May 2015}}{{when|date=May 2015}}
