**Calculators**

Canon has produced an array of calculators for various purposes, including handheld, desktop,
printing, and scientific models. In 1964, they introduced the Canola 130, a 13-digit calculator
designed to meet the specific requirements of the Japanese central bank, which needed a high
number of digits due to the low value of the Japanese Yen. The calculator featured germanium
transistors and a unique light pipe display.

**Projectors**

Canon offers a line of projectors, including advanced green laser presenters with back-lit screens
and basic red laser presentation clickers.

**Virtual Reality Headset**

Canon is developing a prototype virtual reality headset (Canon VR) that provides a wider viewing
angle than other VR devices. However, it requires handles instead of a head strap and is not yet
available commercially. Canon also produces high-end AR (augmented reality) headsets for
enterprise users.

Canon is a leading manufacturer of semiconductor and display manufacturing equipment. Its

subsidiary, Canon Tokki, dominates the market for material deposition equipment and OLED display
manufacturing instruments. Canon is also a top producer of display photolithography equipment and
holds a significant share in the semiconductor lithography machine market.
