Which country is Toshiba from?

Toshiba's headquarters building in Tokyo, Japan Toshiba is the largest semiconductor manufacturer and the second largest integrated motor manufacturer in Japan, which belongs to Mitsui Group. Toshiba, formerly known as Tokyo Shipu Electric Co., Ltd., was formed by the merger of Shipu Manufacturing Co., Ltd. and Tokyo Electric Co., Ltd. on 1939. Since 1875 was founded, it has gone through a long course of 133. Company name: Toshiba Co., Ltd. Slogan: Leading Innovation [1] Established:1July 875, merged:1June 904, registered capital: 280.3 million yen (as of the end of July 2008), total assets: 5.366 million. 55 million yen (US$ 59.567 billion) (as of 20 10) Company headquarters: Tokyo Port Area1-0/Number of employees:199,000 employees (as of August 20 10). 8.888 billion US dollars) (2065,438+00) Total issued shares: 3.2376 billion shares (as of the end of July 2008) Number of shareholders: 53,0703 (as of June 30, 2009) Shareholders' equity: 72,559.2 billion yen (8.062 billion US dollars) (2065 Toshiba has successfully changed from a giant in the home appliance industry to a pioneer in the IT industry. In 2000, Toshiba Semiconductor ranked second in the world in sales after Intel. The market share of notebook computers has remained the first in the world for seven consecutive years. By the end of 2000, the proportion of IT output value to Toshiba's total output value had reached 74%. Toshiba was merged by two Japanese companies in 1939. The first of these two companies is Tanaka Manufacturing Company, which is the first telegraph equipment manufacturing company in Japan. It was founded by Tanaka No.9 Middle School on 1875. 1904, the company was renamed as Zhipu Manufacturing Company. At the beginning of the 20th century, the company mainly supplied heavy-duty electromechanical manufacturing in Japan. After Meiji Restoration, the company became one of the world's industrial giants. The second company, formerly known as Shirakawa, was established in 1890. It is the first company in Japan to manufacture white thermoelectric lamp. This company later produced various consumer electronic products, and the company was renamed as Tokyo Electric on 1899. 1939, Tokyo Electric Power and Zhipu Manufacturing Company were formally merged into Toshiba today, and the new name is the initial word of the two companies. And its English name is also merged according to Japanese pinyin; To stands for the pronunciation of Japanese in the east, and Shiba Inu stands for the pronunciation of cheese. However, it was not until 1984 that the company officially started to use the new brand name Toshiba. Toshiba expanded rapidly by acquiring other companies. In the 1940s and 1950s, Toshiba acquired many heavy machinery manufacturers and industrial related companies. However, after 1970s, Toshiba began to set up subsidiaries to separate the acquired companies from the core industries. These subsidiaries include: Toshiba EMI (1960), Toshiba Electronic Equipment (1974), Toshiba Chemical (1974), Toshiba Lighting Technology (1989) and Toshiba American Information System (1989). Toshiba Notebook Toshiba is the first manufacturer in Japan to manufacture various products of Toshiba Notebook. For example: radar (1942), quartz tube TV and microwave oven (1959), color videophone (197 1 year), Japanese word processor (1978), notebook computer (/kloc-0) This transaction violates the CoCom agreement during the Cold War. The relationship between the United States and Japan was also frustrated by Toshiba DVD burner. In the end, two senior executives of Toshiba were charged and arrested, and the DVD burner of East Toshiba was also fined by both countries. In 200 1 year, Toshiba signed a contract with Orion Electronics, the world's largest image-related electronic product foundry and component supplier. Toshiba asked them to manufacture consumer TV and video recorder products on their behalf; To meet the needs of the North American market. From June 5438 to February 2004, Toshiba announced that it would stop producing traditional CRT TVs. Toshiba ended the production of plasma TV in 2006. Orion, as Toshiba's largest foundry, took over the technical specifications of Toshiba's CRT TVs and plasma TVs and sold them under its own brand (Orion). Toshiba has invested a lot of money in SED imaging technology to strengthen its competitiveness in digital thin TV in the future. Before World War II, Toshiba was a member of Mitsui chaebol. Today's Toshiba belongs to Mitsui series (a loose group organization), and Toshiba has priority cooperation with enterprises in this series, such as Mitsui Bank. However, compared with the close relationship between companies in Mitsubishi Group, Toshiba and Toyota Motor, another big company in Mitsui series, maintain considerable freedom. In July 2005, BNFL decided to sell Westinghouse Electric Company at an estimated price of $654.38+0.8 billion. This sale plan has attracted the attention of many manufacturers including Toshiba, Singular Electric and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. The end result was that Toshiba acquired Westinghouse Electric for $5 billion in June 2006. This sales case has caused a lot of discussion; Many experts believe that BNFL is selling the largest nuclear reactor manufacturer in the world, especially when big countries such as China, the United States and Britain are expected to increase their investment in nuclear power generation. They think it unwise to sell Westinghouse Electric. Toshiba is an important chip manufacturer in the world. In 1980s, Toshiba and NEC were the two largest semiconductor manufacturers in the world. Since 1990s, Toshiba has been the top five chip factory in the world. In 2008, Toshiba ranked third, second only to Intel and Samsung, but ahead of Texas Instruments and STFT. Up to this year, Toshiba's business in China has been going on for 38 years. What remains unchanged is its determination and efforts to "develop together with China". Now Toshiba is involved in digital products, electronic equipment and parts, social infrastructure and household appliances, all of which have business in China. From 65438 to 0995, Toshiba (China) Co., Ltd. was established, which strengthened Toshiba's comprehensive management function and strategy-making function for enterprises in China. Up to now, Toshiba has set up 64 joint ventures and wholly-owned companies in China, with a total investment of over 8 billion RMB and a total of about 23,000 employees. In 2005, its business scale (sales in China+exports to China) was about 57 billion RMB. Apart from Japan, Toshiba's global market is divided into four regions: Europe, America, Asia and China. China is Toshiba's only national market and the largest independent market after Japan and the United States. Product categories include Toshiba's full range of products, and the business model involves R&D, procurement, production, logistics, sales, service, environmental protection and many other businesses. For Toshiba, the overseas market share in 2003 was the largest in the United States, followed by China, accounting for about 20%. It is predicted that by 2008, the scale of Toshiba's business in China will be equal to that of the United States, or even exceed that of the United States. China has undoubtedly become an important pillar of Toshiba's global business. Toshiba's rapid development in China has been supported by local talents and strategic partners in China. The cultivation and bold appointment of talents reflects Toshiba's full trust and respect for local employees. The win-win relationship with Chinese enterprises has given Toshiba a broader development space.

Edit this paragraph Toshiba HD DVD HD DVD HD DVDHD DVD (or: HD DVD) is a blue-beam optical disc product in digital optical storage format, which has now developed into one of the HD DVD standards and was formulated and developed by the HD DVD promotion group. HD DVD is similar to its competitor Blu-ray Disc, which is an optical digital storage medium with the same size as CD (diameter 120mm) and uses 405nm blue light. HD DVD is promoted by the HD DVD Promotion Association composed of Toshiba, NEC, Sanyo Electric and other enterprises. Hewlett-Packard (which also supports BD), Microsoft and Intel have joined the HD DVD camp, and Universal Pictures, the mainstream studio, is one of them. However, in 2008, with Warner, which originally supported HD DVD, announcing its withdrawal from HD DVD and many American chain stores deciding to support Blu-ray products, Toshiba finally officially announced the termination of HD DVD business on February 19. Edit this passage Toshiba ApriPoko robot ApriPoko ApriPoko Toshiba is currently studying a talking robot that can be used as a voice-activated remote control. This 5-pound robot, with a height of 1 1 inch, is called ApriPoko. It can learn how to control electrical appliances by your behavior and asking questions about your related actions. When you use infrared, it will sense the signal and ask the user, "What did you just do?" . If you answer something like "I turn on the TV", it will record this command in memory, and then you can operate it by voice. By the end of this year, Toshiba (China) Co., Ltd. has been doing business in China for 38 years. What remains unchanged is its determination and efforts to "develop together with China".

It can perfectly meet the needs of DIY users and entertainment audio-visual enthusiasts. MK7559GSXp still maintains the thickness of ordinary notebook hard disk of 9.5mm under the premise of super-large storage capacity, and the length and width are both standard 100.0mm and 69.85mm, which is perfectly compatible with all current regular notebooks and entertainment notebooks. Super storage capacity 750GB! 750GB is simply the Warcraft of today's 2.5-inch hard disk market. Since the advent of 2.5-inch notebook hard disk, "small size, large storage capacity and high safety factor" has been the goal and purpose of Toshiba hard disk research and development. With the spirit of continuous innovation and R&D, Toshiba has repeatedly set new highs for 2.5-inch hard drives and 65,438+0.8-inch hard drives. This year, a dual-disk 750 GB- ultrasonic large-capacity notebook hard disk was launched, which proved Toshiba's strength in small size and confidence in market development. Technically, Toshiba adopts "advanced sector format technology". This technology uses each sector to format 4K bytes, which makes the application of surface storage more efficient. In product design, Toshiba adheres to the consistent spirit of environmental protection, adopts low-power technology, reduces the use of harmful chemicals and compounds, and contains no halogen components, which is in full compliance with RoHS specifications. The MK7559GSXp with high reading rate adopts the latest Serial-ATA 2.0 interface, and the theoretical transmission speed can reach 3Gb per second. I believe DIY enthusiasts also know that Serial-ATA 2.0 interface supports the advantages of hot plug, fast transmission speed and high execution efficiency, and supports "actual data transmission rate+support for real SATA command sequencing (NCQ)+2m" (NCQ is called "native command queuing"). Full-speed command queue is the most advanced and expected feature of SATA II, an important part of SATA II specification, and the only technology related to hard disk performance in SATA II specification. NCQ is a powerful interface/hard disk technology, which can improve the performance and service life of hard disk by optimizing the execution sequence of internal jobs. Only the advanced serial ATA 2.0 interface supports the port selector (PS) mechanism to allow two different host ports to connect to the hard disk, thus establishing a path for the hard disk. Another technology is port multiplier, and PM mechanism enables an active host to communicate with multiple hard disks. These performance and technical advantages provide a flagship new hard disk for DIY enthusiasts!
