Adhering to our corporate philosophy of ‘‘Creating harmony between people and technology,’’ W acom Co., Ltd. strives
to offer technologically sophisticated products that people can use intuitively and effortlessly regardless of their
background. In the 1980s, we pioneered the development of a pen tablet that made cordless, battery-free computer
input possible for the first time. The pen tablet’s user-friendly interface and versatility were cherished by computer
graphics creators around the world, and it has since become an indispensable tool in the field. Interactive pen displays
that allow users to work directly on an LCD display, are now popular among a wide range of businesses, including
medical firms, transportation/shipping companies, and a host of other enterprises for which entering information via
keyboards is impractical. Furthermore, by incorporating pen-sensor components into Tablet PCs, we’ve made it possible
for mobile users such as delivery truck drivers to enter information into a computer system. O ur tablets are continuing
to expand into new application areas and we plan to continue globally revolutionizing the workplace and the home with
our proprietary user-interface technology.
