Japan to launch 4K TV broadcast in July 2014 | Rapid TV News

Japan's Government is slated to launch the world's first 4K TV broadcast in July 2014, approximately two years ahead of schedule, to help drive demand for the ultra high-definition TVs.

The Asahi Times said the service will begin from communications satellites, followed by satellite broadcasting and ground digital broadcasting.

The 4K TVs, which boast four times the resolution of current high-definition TVs, are now on sale from Japanese makers including Sony, Panasonic and Sharp. Other manufacturers include South Korea's LG Electronics.

Communications Ministry officials hope to revive Japan's domestic electronics appliance industry by launching 4K early. Consumer demand for TVs has dropped sharply since the conversion from analogue to digital finished in March 2012.
