Toshiba is a Japanese electronics and infrastructure company headquartered in Kawasaki, Kanagawa Prefecture. Its name comes from Tokyo Shibaura Denki, formed in 1939 by the merger of Shibaura Seisaku-sho, founded in 1875, and Tokyo Denki, founded in 1890, and the company took the name Toshiba Corporation in 1978. It is described as the inventor of flash memory, released the first mass-market laptop in 1985, and listed HD DVD (2005) among its Japanese firsts. In December 2004 it announced it would stop making traditional cathode-ray tube televisions. After an accounting scandal and the 2017 bankruptcy of its Westinghouse nuclear subsidiary it shed consumer businesses, and in 2023 a consortium led by Japan Industrial Partners bought it and delisted it from the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
