• The first solid state electronic calculator was created in the early
1960s.
• The pocket sized devices became available in the 1970s,
especially after the first microprocessor, the Intel 4004,
developed by Intel for the Japanese calculator company
Busicom. They later became used commonly within the
petroleum industry (oil and gas).
• Busicom (Japan) contracts with both Intel (USA) and Mostek
(USA) to develop ICs for an electronic calculator. Intel
completes the task with a single microprocessor chip the 4004,
which is used by Busicom for a desk-top electronic calculator.
• Intel eventually buys back the rights to the 4004 for use in other
devices.
