Company Overview

In 1953, Masaru Ibuka, the founder of Sony, and Kazuo Iwama, the future fourth president, traveled across the ocean to the United States to study tape recorders and apply for a patent license for the newly invented "transistor". At that time, Ibuka was exploring new pillar businesses for Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo (now Sony Group Corporation), whose number of employees was rapidly increasing. After careful consideration, he decided to challenge the development of the transistor business. At that time, large Japanese companies that were considering developing transistor manufacturing businesses were even willing to provide manufacturing technology to sign contracts and enter the transistor market. However, Ibuka insisted on independently developing related technologies and successfully trial-produced Japan's first transistor the following year. Sony's semiconductor business thus kicked off. In 1955, Sony released the Japanese transistor radio "TR-55". This product, which was a household name at the time, was also the first product to be engraved with the "SONY" logo. Sony Semiconductor Solutions Group's image sensors are widely used in various fields around the world, such as smartphones, digital cameras, automobiles, and security monitoring. In addition, in terms of sensing, Sony Semiconductor's products are also beginning to be widely used in various fields. Sony aims to become a world leader in this field and strives to develop more unique and high-value products. SONY Semiconductor has strong technical strength throughout development, design and production. In the future, Sony will continue to develop as a leading company in the image sensor industry.
