This led to the emergence of the home entertainment consumer electronics industry starting in the 1950s, largely due to the efforts of Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo (now Sony) in successfully commercializing transistor technology for a mass market, with affordable transistor radios and then transistorized television sets.
The advent of this industry can be attributed to the pioneering work of Tokyo Tsushin Kogyo (now Sony), which successfully brought transistor technology to the masses through the creation of affordable transistor radios and subsequent development of transistorized television sets in the 1950s.
