About Philips Research

|
Philips Research is one of the world's largest
corporate research organizations. We develop new
technologies and investigate potential growth areas for
Philips. Our belief is that every
innovation should start with an insight. To improve
the quality of people's lives, we make a point of
understanding what drives them, the dilemmas they face, and
how we can help them in the best possible way. Open innovation
This is often best carried out through partnerships. The
days of innovating in isolation are over. No one company can
be expected to know all the answers. That's why we regularly
work together with a wide network of institutes, companies,
universities and hospitals to jointly develop meaningful new
breakthroughs.Global demands
But it's not about progress at any cost. We apply our
expertise to address growing global demands for greater
energy efficiency and higher levels of sustainability in all
aspects of new products and technologies.Surprising innovations
This approach has enabled us to surprise people with
breakthrough innovations for over 90 years, covering
everything from lamps and radio to medical equipment,
electric shavers, television and semiconductors. Along the way we've been responsible for some real ground-breaking discoveries and standards like the Rotalix X-ray tube, the high-pressure mercury lamp, the triple-headed dry electric razor, the Compact Cassette, and more recent innovations like the Brilliance 40 slice CT scanner, CD, DVD, and Ambilight. |
