History[edit]
Gerard Philips
The
Philips

Philips Company was founded in 1891, by
Gerard Philips

Gerard Philips and his
father Frederik Philips. Frederik, a Jewish banker based in
Zaltbommel, financed the purchase and setup of an empty factory
building in Eindhoven, where the company started the production of
carbon-filament lamps and other electro-technical products in 1892.
This first factory has been adapted and is used as a museum.[7]
In 1895, after a difficult first few years and near bankruptcy, the
Philipses brought in Anton, Gerard's younger brother by sixteen years.
Though he had earned a degree in engineering, Anton started work as a
sales representative; soon, however, he began to contribute many
important business ideas. With Anton's arrival, the family business
began to expand rapidly, resulting in the founding of Philips
Metaalgloeilampfabriek N.V. (
Philips

Philips Metal Filament Lamp Factory Ltd.)
in
Eindhoven

Eindhoven in 1908, followed in 1912, by the foundation of Philips
Gloeilampenfabrieken N.V. (
Philips

Philips Lightbulb Factories Ltd.). After
Gerard and
Anton Philips

Anton Philips changed their family business by founding the
Philips

Philips corporation, they laid the foundations for the later
electronics multinational.
In the 1920s, the company started to manufacture other products, such
as vacuum tubes. In 1939, they introduced their electric razor, the
Philishave

Philishave (marketed in the US using the
Norelco

Norelco brand name). The
"Chapel" is a radio with built-in loudspeaker, which was designed
during the early 1930s.
Philips

Philips Radio[edit]
Philips

Philips chapel radio model 930A, 1931
On 11 March 1927,
Philips

Philips went on the air with shortwave radio station
PCJJ (later PCJ) which was joined in 1929 by sister station PHOHI
(
Philips

Philips Omroep Holland-Indië). PHOHI broadcast in Dutch to the Dutch
East Indies (now Indonesia) while
PCJJ broadcast in English, Spanish
and German to the rest of the world.
The international program on Sundays commenced in 1928, with host
Eddie Startz hosting the
Happy Station show, which became the world's
longest-running shortwave program. Broadcasts from the Netherlands
were interrupted by the German invasion in May 1940. The Germans
commandeered the transmitters in
Huizen

Huizen to use for pro-Nazi
broadcasts, some originating from Germany, others concerts from Dutch
broadcasters under German control.
Philips

Philips Radio was absorbed shortly after liberation when its two
shortwave stations were nationalised in 1947 and renamed Radio
Netherlands

Netherlands Worldwide, the Dutch International Service. Some PCJ
programs, such as Happy Station, continued on the new station.
Stirling engine[edit]
Philips

Philips was instrumental in the revival of the
Stirling engine

Stirling engine when,
in the early 1930s, the management decided that offering a low-power
portable generator would assist in expanding sales of its radios into
parts of the world where mains electricity was unavailable and the
supply of batteries uncertain. Engineers at the company's research lab
carried out a systematic comparison of various power sources and
determined that the almost forgotten
Stirling engine

Stirling engine would be most
suitable, citing its quiet operation (both audibly and in terms of
radio interference) and ability to run on a variety of heat sources
(common lamp oil – "cheap and available everywhere" –
was favored).[8] They were also aware that, unlike steam and internal
combustion engines, virtually no serious development work had been
carried out on the
Stirling engine

Stirling engine for many years and asserted that
modern materials and know-how should enable great improvements.[9]
Encouraged by their first experimental engine, which produced
16 W of shaft power from a bore and stroke of 30 mm × 25 mm,[10]
various development models were produced in a program which continued
throughout World War II. By the late 1940s, the 'Type 10' was ready to
be handed over to Philips' subsidiary Johan de Witt in Dordrecht to be
produced and incorporated into a generator set as originally planned.
The result, rated at 180/200 W electrical output from a bore and
stroke of 55 mm × 27 mm, was designated MP1002CA (known as the
"Bungalow set"). Production of an initial batch of 250 began in 1951,
but it became clear that they could not be made at a competitive
price, besides with the advent of transistor radios with their much
lower power requirements meant that the original rationale for the set
was disappearing. Approximately 150 of these sets were eventually
produced.[11]
In parallel with the generator set
Philips

Philips developed experimental
Stirling engines for a wide variety of applications and continued to
work in the field until the late 1970s, though the only commercial
success was the 'reversed Stirling engine' cryocooler. However, they
filed a large number of patents and amassed a wealth of information,
which they later licensed to other companies.[12]
Shavers[edit]
The first
Philips

Philips shaver was introduced in the 1930s, and was simply
called “The Philishave”. In the USA, it was called the
“Norelco”, which remains a part of their product line today.
World War II[edit]
On 9 May 1940, the
Philips

Philips directors learned that the German invasion
of the
Netherlands

Netherlands was to take place the following day. Having
prepared for this,
Anton Philips

Anton Philips and his son in law Frans Otten, as
well as other
Philips

Philips family members, fled to the United States,
taking a large amount of the company capital with them. Operating from
the US as the North American
Philips

Philips Company, they managed to run the
company throughout the war. At the same time, the company was moved
(on paper) to the
Netherlands

Netherlands Antilles to keep it out of American
hands.
On 6 December 1942, The British
No. 2 Group RAF

No. 2 Group RAF led an air raid which
heavily damaged the
Philips

Philips Radio factory in
Eindhoven

Eindhoven with few
casualties among the Dutch workers and civilians.[13] The Philips
works in
Eindhoven

Eindhoven was bombed again by the RAF on 30 March
1943.[14][15]
Frits Philips, the son of Anton, was the only
Philips

Philips family member to
stay in the Netherlands. He saved the lives of 382 Jews by convincing
the Nazis that they were indispensable for the production process at
Philips.[16] In 1943 he was held at the internment camp for political
prisoners at Vught for several months because a strike at his factory
reduced production. For his actions in saving the hundreds of Jews, he
was recognized by
Yad Vashem

Yad Vashem in 1995 as a "Righteous Among the
Nations".[17]
1945 to 2001[edit]
After the war the company was moved back to the Netherlands, with
their headquarters in Eindhoven.
The
Philips

Philips Light Tower in Eindhoven, originally a light bulb factory
and later the company headquarters[18]
In 1949, the company began selling television sets.[19] In 1950, it
formed
Philips

Philips Records, which eventually formed part of PolyGram.
Philips

Philips introduced the audio Compact Audio Cassette tape in 1963, and
it was wildly successful. Compact cassettes were initially used for
dictation machines for office typing stenographers and professional
journalists. As their sound quality improved, cassettes would also be
used to record sound and became the second mass media alongside vinyl
records used to sell recorded music.
Philips

Philips introduced the first combination portable radio and cassette
recorder, which was marketed as the "radiorecorder", and is now better
known as the boom box. Later, the cassette was used in telephone
answering machines, including a special form of cassette where the
tape was wound on an endless loop. The C-cassette was used as the
first mass storage device for early personal computers in the 1970s
and 1980s.
Philips

Philips reduced the cassette size for the professional
needs with the Mini-Cassette, although it would not be as successful
as the Olympus Microcassette. This became the predominant dictation
medium up to the advent of fully digital dictation machines.[citation
needed]
Philips

Philips continued with computers through the early 1990s (see
separate article:
Philips

Philips Computers).
In 1972,
Philips

Philips launched the world's first home video cassette
recorder, in the UK, the N1500. Its relatively bulky video cassettes
could record 30 minutes or 45 minutes. Later one-hour tapes were also
offered. As competition came from Sony's
Betamax

Betamax and the
VHS

VHS group of
manufacturers,
Philips

Philips introduced the N1700 system which allowed
double-length recording. For the first time, a 2-hour movie could fit
onto one video cassette. In 1977, the company unveiled a special
promotional film for this system in the UK, featuring comedian Denis
Norden.[20] The concept was quickly copied by the Japanese makers,
whose tapes were significantly cheaper.
Philips

Philips made one last attempt
at a new standard for video recorders with the
Video 2000

Video 2000 system, with
tapes that could be used on both sides and had 8 hours of total
recording time. As
Philips

Philips only sold its systems on the PAL standard
and in Europe, and the Japanese makers sold globally, the scale
advantages of the Japanese proved insurmountable and
Philips

Philips withdrew
the V2000 system and joined the
VHS

VHS Coalition.[citation needed]
Philips

Philips had developed a
LaserDisc

LaserDisc early on for selling movies, but
delayed its commercial launch for fear of cannibalizing its video
recorder sales. Later
Philips

Philips joined with MCA to launch the first
commercial
LaserDisc

LaserDisc standard and players. In 1982,
Philips

Philips teamed
with
Sony

Sony to launch the Compact Disc; this format evolved into the
CD-R, CD-RW,
DVD

DVD and later Blu-ray, which
Philips

Philips launched with Sony
in 1997[citation needed] and 2006 respectively.
In 1984, the Dutch
Philips

Philips Group bought out nearly a one-third share
and took over the management of German company Grundig.
In 1984,
Philips

Philips split off its activities on the field of
photolithographic integrated circuit production equipment, the
so-called wafer steppers, into a joint venture with ASM International,
located in
Veldhoven

Veldhoven under the name ASML. Over the years, this new
company has evolved into the world's leading manufacturer of chip
production machines at the expense of competitors like
Nikon

Nikon and
Canon.
In 1991, the company's name was changed from N.V. Philips
Gloeilampenfabrieken to
Philips Electronics

Philips Electronics N.V. At the same time,
North American
Philips

Philips was formally dissolved, and a new corporate
division was formed in the US with the name
Philips Electronics

Philips Electronics North
America Corp.[citation needed]
In 1991-1992,
Philips

Philips along with their subsidiary Magnavox, released
the
Philips

Philips CD-i, a combined
CD player

CD player and home video game console. It
sold one million units and was discontinued in 1998 after being
heavily criticized amongst the gaming community.[21]
In 1997, the company officers decided to move the headquarters from
Eindhoven

Eindhoven to
Amsterdam

Amsterdam along with the corporate name change to
Koninklijke
Philips Electronics

Philips Electronics N.V.[citation needed] The move was
completed in 2001. Initially, the company was housed in the Rembrandt
Tower, but in 2002 they moved again, this time to the Breitner Tower.

L-Prize competition[edit]
In 2011,

high-efficiency, long operating life replacement for a standard 60-W
incandescent lightbulb.[89] The winning LED lightbulb, which was made

Greenpeace

Greenpeace ranking[edit]
In Greenpeace's 2012 Guide to Greener Electronics, that ranks
electronics manufacturers on sustainability, climate and energy and
how green their products are,
Philips

Philips ranks 10th place with a score of
3.8/10.[91] The company was the top scorer in the Energy section due
to its energy advocacy work calling upon the EU to adopt a 30%
reduction for greenhouse gas emissions by 2020. It is also praised for
its new products which are free from PVC plastic and BFRs. However,
the guide criticizes Phillips' sourcing of fibres for paper, arguing
it must develop a paper procurement policy which excludes suppliers
involved in deforestation and illegal logging.[92]
Philips

Philips have made some considerable progress since 2007 (when it was
first ranked in this guide), in particular by supporting the
Individual Producer Responsibility principle, which means that the
company is accepting the responsibility for the toxic impacts of its
products on e-waste dumps around the world.[93]
