HP Labs is the exploratory and advanced research group for HP Inc. HP headquarters is in Palo Alto, California and has research and development facilities in Bristol, UK. The development of programmable desktop calculators, inkjet printing, and 3D graphics are credited to HP Labs researchers.
HP Labs was established on March 3, 1966, by founders Bill Hewlett and David Packard, seeking to create an organization not bound by day-to-day business concerns.[1] It remained a division of the original Hewlett-Packard company until November 1, 2015 when it split into two companies; HP Inc. and Hewlett Packard Enterprise. With that split also came the split of Hewlett Packard Labs (formerly HP Laboratories).
Research areas
