| Description | Following its establishment on December 7, 1935, to carry out the worlds first commercial production of ferrite, a magnetic material invented in Japan,
Under the main theme of "What has TDK created?" exhibitions in the Symbol Zone at the entrance include the TDK Gallery, which displays the company's products; A TDK Pre-history and Presidents, which introduces the company's founder and presidents, History of the TDK Brand; and the Highlight Corner, which features TDK products by category (ferrite, ceramics, applications components, HDD heads, recording media, etc.). The Event Hall shows visitors videos on TDK. FerriteHere, the history of ferrite applications for commercial use and telecommunications infrastructures, including ferrite cores, magnet products, and radio wave absorbent materials, is given.Seven main usages of Ferrite cores Ferrite: Indispensable for the development of audio-visual equipment TDK ferrite cores work behind the scenes to support communications TDK magnets support the "movement" of modern electronics devices TDK ferrite products, utilized in ways that you might not realize Anechoic test chamber CeramicsTDK expanded into the ceramics business by making the most of its know-how in ferrite manufacturing. The chronology of this endeavor as well as TDK products indicative of the time are displayed here.The history of TDK ceramics What are ceramic capacitors? The "family tree" of ceramic products and technologies The worldwide scope of TDK's ceramic products Components that alter the products themselves Applications ComponentsTDK met a variety of needs with its applications components based on its materials technology and production technology. The history and production processes of six product categories are explained in this area.Applications components, the starting point of product creation The history of applications components A chronological overview of applications components and epoch-making product examples are shown here. TDK's craftsmanship in the making of applications components Inductors: Miniaturization made possible by ferrite Products designed for better Electromagnetic Compatibility with electrical signals Composite components and modules, Integration of multiple functions: History of composite components, a typical example of which is the LC filter, a combination of an inductor and capacitor. Transformers, the starting point of applications components Power systems: The "engine" driving electrical devices Sensors & Actuators: The "five senses" and "limbs" of electrical device Recording MediaRecording media, for which TDK credits its brand image, is one of the company's staple products. Displays in this corner include epoch-making cassette tapes and the history of TDK's business, technologies, and products.TDK's Compact Cassettes transformed music culture History of recording media business TDK's technical breakthroughs in recording media History of recording media products Heads CornerHard-disk drives are indispensable in our daily lives. It can be said that the evolution of hard-disk drives is the evolution of magnetic-head technology. The history and progress of this essential technology are shown here.HDD magnetic heads are the focus of this business. Striving for one breakthrough after another The history of hard-disk drives is the history of magnetic heads. Transmitters of the genomes of challenge Manufacturing TechnologiesProgress in manufacturing technologies is explained as the origin of TDK' product creation. |

TDKは1935年（昭和10年）12月7日に、日本で発明された磁性材料「フェライト」を世界で始めて工業化することを目指して創業し、1940年7月には秋田県由利郡平澤町（現秋田県にかほ市）に平澤分工場を設立するなど、草創期より秋田県内に多くの生産拠点を構え地域社会と密接な関係の下、事業展開を行なってまいりました。
本館は創業70周年記念事業として、創業期からの製造拠点である秋田県にかほ市の平沢工場敷地内に計画されました。フェライトとその原料ベンガラ（酸化鉄）、およびセラミック材料をイメージした外観をもつ、秋田の豊かな自然に囲まれた施設です。 館内では、「TDKは何を創ったか？」を共通展示テーマとし、その主な展示構成は、エントランス部における企業紹介コーナーと創業者コーナーに加え、 TDK歴史年表、共通ハイライトコーナー、各製品分野別（磁性製品、セラミック製品、応用製品、ヘッド、磁気メディア製品など）の専門展示コーナーを設け、映像資料を視聴いただける多目的ホールも配置しています。 TDK歴史館（TDK History Museum）は、「TDKは何を創ったか？」をメインテーマに、TDKのあゆみを、その「ものづくりの歴史」からひもといていく歴史資料館です。 TDKの原点である磁性材料フェライトと、そこから広がっていったセラミック、応用部品、記録メディア、磁気ヘッドなどの製品の歴史を通して、日本の電子工業の発展とともに歩んできたTDKの「テクノロジートランスファー（技術推移）」の展開・発展を、多くの展示資料やパネル、映像によってわかりやすくご紹介しています。 館内では、以下の3つの展示ゾーンに沿って、TDKの「ものづくりの歴史」を学び、知ることができます。 |
