This calculator design was licensed to NCM/Busicom for manufacture and sale by exclusively by NCM. The calculator was a five-function machine, with square root and two memory registers, utilizing a CRT display with vector-generated segmented digits (versus the beautiful sine/cosine waveform-generated digits of the WS-01/WS-02 calculators).
In order to limit production cost, Busicom wanted to design a calculator engine that would be based on a few integrated circuits (ICs), containing some ROMs and shift registers and that could be adapted to a broad range of calculators by just changing the ROM IC chips.
