Entrepreneur Akio Marita and engineer Masaru Ibuka :) It was they who in 1946 founded the famous company "Tokyo Research Laboratory" or simply "Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo Kabushiki Kaisa", which made radio components, voltmeters and rice cookers. Nothing interesting, until in 1949 Ibuka patented a tape for recording. A year later, the company produces a tape recorder G-Type, weighing 35 kg and cost 900 bucks. A total of 20 such hellish gizmos were released and poured on them to court, replacing stenographers. In the early 50s, the boys bought a license to manufacture transistors from the American company Western Electric. In 54, the first TR-2 radio comes out, bringing success to the company. After him, on the base of the transistor, a video recorder and a television set are released. By the end of the 50s, the path was taken to the USA and the name was changed to SONY. The whole range of products there quickly became popular. It was after the success of SONY, other Japanese companies began to assert themselves. Already in 1968, released the first color TV - with a Trinitron CRT. At 70, the development of a portable player began and at 79 the Sony Walkman came out. As a result, it was sold about 100 million of these players! Sony has become the largest audio and video production company in the world. in 1988, Sony acquires the recording company CBS Records Inc and renames it Sony Music Entertainment. Today they are one of the best! And now Columbia Pictures and TriStars Pictures are also in possession. In the 90s, the world saw icons such as Blu-Ray, Sony Vaio laptops, Play Station, Memory Stick, Cyber-shot cameras and more. In 2001, the Swedish company Ericsson and Sony founded Sony Ericsson. The company produces mobile phones and, in the future, smartphones. The legendary T610, V800, the best Cyber-shot k750i cameraphone, the best music Walkman W910i and W980 was released, in 2008, the Xperia line appeared, and Symbian, WM and Android smartphones were released. But since 2009, sales have fallen, leading to a recent 50% SE purchase by SONY. Now smartphones are released under this brand, the first signs are XPERIA s and Ion.
