Sharp's history began when its founder, Mr. Tokuji Hayakawa, established the metal processing industry in Tokyo in 1912. In 1915, Mr. Hayakawa invented a metal pencil called the "Ever-Ready Sharp Pencil", which was very popular at the time. This is the origin of the current Sharp company name and trademark. After that, Sharp successively developed Japan's first mineral radio, black and white TV, and the world's first all-transistor electronic calculator, and gradually developed into a manufacturer of home appliances, communication equipment, solar cells, LCD panels, LEDs, LSI and other electronic products. A comprehensive electronics manufacturer of components.
