TOKYO, March 14 (Reuters) - Sharp Corp (6753.T: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Friday it plans to enter China's cellular phone market before the Beijing Olympics, as early as in June, to tap the growing affluent population there.

Sharp spokeswoman Miyuki Nakayama also said Sharp aims for a global market share of 30 percent in liquid crystal display (LCD) panels in 2010 or 2011, when a new plant is at full production capacity. (Reporting by Aiko Hayashi)
