Adhering to our corporate philosophy of ‘‘Creating harmony between people and technology,’’ Wacom Co., Ltd.
strives to oer technologically sophisticated products that people can use intuitively and eortlessly 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 rst 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 eld. Wacom’s
interactive pen displays that allow users to work directly on an LCD display are now popular among a wide range of
businesses, including medical rms, transportation/shipping companies and a host of other enterprises for which
entering information via a keyboard 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 more easily enter information into a
computer system. Our tablets continue to be adopted in new application areas, and Wacom plans to continue its
eorts to revolutionize both the workplace and the home with our proprietary user-interface technology.
