Name
The Ten in the company's name does not refer to the number 10, but rather comes from the Chinese character Ten (天), meaning heaven in Chinese and Japanese.
History
Fujitsu Ten was created in 1972 when it was spun out by Fujitsu Limited. It took with it the automotive and radio electronics departments. The intention was that creating a separate company would give more focus to these areas.[2] The automotive and radio departments were themselves the result of a merger between Fujitsu Limited and Kobe Industries Corp. in 1968.[2]
In September 2016, Denso agreed with Fujitsu to purchase the stock of Fujitsu Ten. The deal was made on November 1, 2017, and its name was changed to Denso Ten.
Notable staff
A Nobel prize winner, Leo Esaki (江崎 玲於奈 Esaki Reona), worked at Kobe Kogyo (神戸工業 Kōbe Kōgyō), which is the preceding company of Fujitsu Ten before it changed its name to Fujitsu Ten.[citation needed]
Eclipse
Eclipse is the brand name for its GPS car navigation and audio system products.
TMC
Eclipse AVN726EE, AVN726EA and AVN440 include TMC.[3]
