Sharp will be holding an EV (electric vehicle) concept model “LDK ” at the Tokyo International Forum (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) from September 17th (Tuesday) to September 18th (Wednesday) of this year. Our technology exhibition event “SHARP
Tech-Day’24 “Innovation
It will be published in “Showcase”. This concept model was planned and developed based on the EV open platform (*2) in collaboration with Hon Hai Precision Industry Co., Ltd. (*1) (hereinafter referred to as Foxconn). This was made possible with the cooperation of Forofly Co., Ltd. (*3).
“LDK ” is an EV that treats the interior of the vehicle as an “extended living room” and focuses on “time when the vehicle is stationary.” Utilizing our proprietary AI technology “CE-LLM (*4)”, AIoT technology, sensing technology, etc., we propose a comfortable and sustainable lifestyle that connects EVs with “living space, people, and energy.”
In this concept model, the rear seats rotate backwards. When the door closes, the LCD shutters installed on the windows on both sides close, creating a private space. Based on the information learned by AI through home appliances in daily life, the system automatically adjusts the air conditioning and brightness according to your preferences, creating a comfortable interior space. A 65V display is installed at the rear of the car. It can be used not only as an immersive theater room or a children’s play area, but also for remote work where you want to concentrate on your own.
It also allows seamless communication with family members in the house through the large screen, providing a safe and convenient space that makes you feel as if you are in the next room. Furthermore, the storage battery and solar battery installed in the EV are connected to the entire house, and AI realizes optimal total energy management between the house and the EV. In the unlikely event of a power outage due to a disaster, it is also possible to use the electricity stored in the storage battery at home.
We will continue to propose comfortable lifestyles that are close to people and promote carbon neutrality initiatives.

Abbreviation for “Model”. This is our unique AI technology that utilizes large-scale language models (LLM) as edge AI. Since processing is performed on the terminal, real-time performance is high, allowing for more natural communication. For questions that cannot be answered by edge AI, detailed information will be obtained from cloud AI.
