Reference excerpt

iiyama is a brand name of Mouse Computer Corporation (株式会社マウスコンピューター, Kabushiki Gaisha Mausu Konpyūtā). It produces liquid crystal display (LCD) monitors and LED display panels. It was previously an independent Japanese computer electronics company called iiyama Corporation (株式会社イーヤマ, Kabushikigaisha Īyama) with its headquarters in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo. iiyama was founded in 1972 by Kazuro Katsuyama, named after the city of Iiyama in Nagano Prefecture, Japan. The company was bought in January 2006 by MCJ, which includes Mouse Computer Corporation. The headquarters of iiyama was moved to Europe in October 2008. The CEO since January 2006 has been Takeichi Shinji.

History

Founded in March 1972 as Iiyama Electric Corporation (飯山電機株式会社) by 23-year-old bank employee Kazuro Katsuyama, it first started manufacturing television boards and substrates for Mitsubishi at a local plant in Nagano Prefecture. They started producing black and white TVs in 1976 and color TVs in 1979, followed by computer monitors under its own brand name in 1981 which then became its main product range. The company expanded to the Western market in 1987 and in the 1990s opened up offices in Philadelphia, Germany, Poland, France, UK, Sweden, the Czech Republic, Taiwan, and its international head office in the Netherlands, where it is registered as iiyama Benelux B.V. By 1993 it was the leading monitor supplier in Japan with a 21% market share. The first LCDs were released by iiyama in 1997. In 2001 it merged with e-yama to create iiyama Co., Ltd. (株式会社イーヤマ), and its headquarters moved to Nagano. In 2006 holding company MCJ bought iiyama and renamed it to iiyama Co., Ltd. (株式会社iiyama), moving its base to Chūō, Tokyo. In October 2008 iiyama Corporation became part of Mouse Computer Co., Ltd., one of MCJ's companies.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Iiyama (company)

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Iiyama (company) claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In computer science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Iiyama (company) before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Iiyama (company) ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Iiyama (company)

In research: Iiyama (company) appears in computer science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Iiyama (company) in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Iiyama (company) is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 2006 mergers and acquisitions, Chiyoda, Tokyo, Computer companies established in 1972, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Iiyama (company) outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
