Sharp, a Japanese electronics giant, is known as the "father of the world's liquid crystal": he invented the world's first liquid crystal display computer, LCD TV, and LCD video camera.
The history of Sharp began with the establishment of the metalworking industry in Tokyo in 1912 by its founder, Mr. Tokuji Hayakawa. In 1915, Mr. Hayakawa invented the metal movable pencil called "Ever-Ready Sharp Pencil", which was all the rage at the time. This is where the name and trademark of Sharp come from. Since then, Sharp has developed Japan's first ore radio, black-and-white television, and the world's first all-transistor electronic calculator, and has gradually developed into a comprehensive electronics manufacturer that produces home appliances, communication equipment, solar cells, LCD panels, LEDs, LSI, and other electronic components.
Since its founding in 1912, Sharp has operated in 26 countries and 64 regions around the world. Products ranging from radios and televisions to microwave ovens, calculators, solar cells, and liquid crystal displays, Sharp has launched a number of "firsts in Japan" and "firsts in the world".
