Articles on NEC

NEC Corporation is a highly-diversified Japanese multinational corporation. Known originally as the Nippon Electric Company, NEC had long been one of the largest electronics manufacturers in Japan. Its contribution to personal computing has lasting global impacts. Today, NEC has stakes in a broad range of industries from telecom to aerospace.

After the turn of the century, NEC was the last Japanese brand to manufacture its laptop computers in Japan. However, the decline in the PC market has led most Japanese brands to exit the market. More recently, NEC sold part of its Display Solutions to Sharp.
