Sharp Corporation founding | Techday, September 15th
On this TECHDAY in history, on September 15th 1912, September marks the Sharp Corporation founding. It was a small metalworking company that evolved into another Japanese technology giant. One of the major innovations in its record was the revolutionary electronic calculator. The company’s name had an inspiration of one of its first successful products, back in 1915, a kind of mechanical pencil that was able to always stay “sharp”.
Over the years, Sharp expanded its product line to include mechanical pencils, radios, televisions, and other consumer electronics. In the 1950s and 1960s, Sharp was one of the first companies to introduce color televisions to the Japanese market.
In the 1980s and 1990s, Sharp continued to innovate and introduce new products such as LCD TVs, mobile phones, and digital cameras. It also expanded its business into the solar energy market. Today, Sharp is a diversified company that operates in a wide range of industries, including consumer electronics, home appliances, energy solutions, and information technology. The company’s products are sold in over 150 countries worldwide, and it employs over 50,000 people globally.
