What this shows Sharp's Innovation Score is 64.2/100 (top 2% of the PatentsView-derived corpus). The chart places that score against the nearest Innovation Score peers plus corpus poles, not a reprint of the volume ranking.

Does more volume mean deeper claims for Sharp?

Each dot is one of Sharp’s 8 nearest volume peers (same corpus rank neighbourhood as the chart above), placed by total granted patents (horizontal) against average claims per patent (vertical). Sharp’s own 12.4 claims/patent is at or below the 16.3 median for these volume peers. Volume here does not track with deeper claims; several lower-volume peers claim more thoroughly per patent.

Where Sharp's grants concentrate

Sharp Display Technology Corporation is a focused PatentsView assignee: 26 CPC subclasses with 62.6% of grants classified under G02F (Optical Devices OR Arrangements FOR THE Control OF Light BY Modification OF THE Optical Properties OF THE Media OF THE Elements Involved THEREIN; Non-linear OPTICS; Frequency-changing OF LIGHT; Optica). Peak complete grant year is 2024 (96 grants) versus a trough of 4 in 2022. By volume, Sharp sits between Lattice Semiconductor Corporation and Parallels International GmbH.

Sharp's three-year grant acceleration

Sharp Display Technology Corporation shows 144 grants in 2022–2024 against only 0 in 2019–2021. That prior window is too thin for a growth multiple (rename and spin-out assignees look artificially high when the baseline is near zero), so PlainPatent withholds a ranked acceleration claim here.
