Sharp began to develop electronic calculators in the 60s of the last century, when the Japanese pocket electronic calculator market was emerging, and there were only three companies that produced calculators, including Sharp, Canon and Charging Gas Company, and Sharp was in the leading position, but unfortunately in the fierce competition in the industry, Sharp was defeated by Casio, which was coming from behind, and gradually went downhill in the calculator industry. The brand fell into losses in the later stage and was eventually acquired by Hon Hai Technology Group as its subsidiary.
 
Sharp's products are unique in design, reducing the number of components required for the production of calculators from more than 3,000 to only 3 - silicon wafers, displays and solar cells, greatly reducing the production cost of calculators. It was also the first to use a liquid crystal display in a calculator, and the first to install a solar cell on a calculator. Sharp received the IEEE Milestone Award for its leadership in the development of electronic calculators.
 
Sharp calculator products are now mainly desktop and functional. Compared with Casio in terms of internal performance of its function scientific calculator, it lacks the expansion of algebraic operation functions such as matrices and polynomial equations, and maintains it at the mid-range level, but the product quality is stable, but the price of 100 yuan is very cost-effective among several old brands. The design of the model EL-W82TL jumps out of a lot of cold engineering style, with a unique Japanese freshness, and the appearance control is not to be missed.
 
The desktop EL-2135 is priced at 95 yuan, which is not cost-effective, but the computer keyboard buttons it uses make the keys more realistic, and the probability of false touch is greatly reduced.
 
Financial EL-738 is a study in Australia, financial accounting students need to prepare, basically Australian schools are used, the price is around 160 yuan, in the financial calculator has a price advantage, to deal with daily work is also a very affordable choice.
