We have been exploring the possibilities of light for over 70 years. Our history began in 1953 under the name of Hamamatsu TV Co., which manufactured phototubes that converted light into electrical signals. In 1983, we adopted the name Hamamatsu Photonics and broadened our aim to further develop opto-electronic technology.
First starting from the founding of Tokai Electronics Laboratory in 1948, Hamamatsu TV Co., Ltd. was then established in 1953 followed by a company name change to Hamamatsu Photonics K.K. in 1983.
In 1953, Horiuchi partnered with Teruo Hiruma and Norio Hanyu, to establish a new company: Hamamatsu TV, the aim was to bring the kind of photonic technology he was developing into industry. Hamamatsu TV began with the development of a photomultiplier tube, which was in demand in Japan at the time.
