Sharp, a Japanese electronics giant, is known as the "father of LCD in the world": it invented the world's first LCD computer, LCD TV and LCD video camera, and is also one of the important suppliers of Apple's display panel.
Sharp's history began with the founding of the metal processing industry in Tokyo in 1912. In 1915, Mr. Zaochuan invented the "ever ready sharp pencil", which was very popular at that time.
