| The Japan Electronic Industry
Exhibition was first held in 1962, and
in 1964 the name of the exhibition was
changed to the Japan Electronics Show.
In total, the show was held 39 times
until 1999. The Japan Electronics Show
evolved with the electronics industry.
By its final year, the show displayed
products and technologies in fields
from electronic components, devices
and semiconductors to industrial and
consumer electronics, and software.
The 2000 integration with COM JAPAN
to create CEATEC JAPAN represents an
important step forward for this comprehensive
trade show. |

| Milestones
of the Japan Electronics Show
|
- 1958:
- The first Television and
Radio Parts Show, predecessor
of the Japan Electronics Show,
is held.
- 1961:
- The name of the show is
changed to the Electronic
Parts Show.
- 1962:
- The First Japan Electronic
Industry Exhibition is held
in the Tokyo International
Trade Center. In an atmosphere
of rapid technological advancement,
this exhibition integrates
several field-specific shows
and becomes the first official
trade exhibition representing
Japan's electronics industry
as a whole.
- 1963:
- The Second Japan Electronic
Industry Exhibition is held
in Osaka. After this, the
show location is staggered
every other year between Tokyo
and Osaka.
- 1964:
- The exhibition name is changed
to the Japan Electronics Show.
With the aim of making this
an international exhibition,
preparations are made for
the display of foreign-made
products. From 1964, it is
decided to hold the show in
Tokyo during even-numbered
years and Osaka in odd-numbered
years.
- 1968:
- Foreign companies and government
organizations, such as the
U.S. Department of Commerce,
the government of Canada and
F.N.I.E. (France), participate
in the exhibition. The number
of foreign visitors also rises,
making this year the first
step toward developing into
an international exhibition.
In line with the growth of
the exhibition, the organizers
aim to establish a global
atmosphere. The Japan Electronics
Show Association, an independent
organization, is also established
to ensure well-balanced management
of the show. Despite a drop
in the number of visitors
resulting from the oil crises
of the 1970s and other factors,
Japan's electronics industry
continues to expand, and the
exhibition establishes a reputation
as one of Asia's leading international
trade shows.
- 1984:
- A new microelectronics section,
centered on office automation
(OA) equipment, is added to
exhibition.
- 1991:
- In order to stage events
commemorating the 30th anniversary
of the exhibition, the site
is moved to Makuhari Messe.
A three-section structure
is established as follows:
- 1) Consumer Electronics
- 2) Industrial Electronics
- (Electric measuring
instrumentation, radio
communications systems,
telecommunications systems,
and manufacturing/testing
equipment)
- 3) Electronic Devices,
Components and Materials
- (Electronic devices,
general electronic components
and materials)
- 1994:
- To respond to widespread
changes in the industry, such
as the continuing development
of electronics technologies,
the emergence of multimedia,
the shift to software technologies
and products, the globalization
of society and lifestyles, and
the advance of the information
age, the structure of the exhibition
is comprehensively renewed under
two categories:
- Consumer Category
- Industrial Category
