NEC Electronics Corporation separated from NEC Corporation on November 1st, 2002, and established itself as an independent company dedicating to the designing and the manufacturing of semiconductors.

As a world-leading semiconductor manufacturer, NEC Electronics' competitive advantage lies within its ability to provide advanced technology solutions that are customized to effectively optimize customers' needs.

NEC is a Fortune 500 company, an industry leader in advanced technologies and system solutions, and one of the world's top patent producers. In 1977, NEC introduced the concept of "C&C" for computing and communications convergence, and the company continues to be a pioneer in both areas. Today, on the basis of the concept that our customers are Empowered by Innovation, we have developed a vision called U can change: Ubiquitous Computing and You can create a new world. Over the past two decades, NEC has transformed the world you live in today, from the Internet you log on to daily, to the live shows you watch on satellite TV, the 3G mobile phones you use around the world, the logistic and transportation management systems that bring the world to you, and even the LCD displays on your desks and the projectors in your conference rooms. All of these products are the fruits of NEC's labor and leadership in the fields of computing and information technology, communication and networking, and semiconductors.
