The
TI-1103 was introduced in the year 1986 together with the
TI-1104. Both calculators based on the simple design of the TI-1100

Dismantling
this TI-1103 manufactured in August 1993 by
Inventec Corporation in
Taiwan reveals a pretty simple internal construction centered around a
single-chip calculator circuit. Please notice that production of the TI-1103 was
shifted around 1989 from Taiwan to Malaysia.
If you prefer the AOS system, view the MathMate, if you like solar cells view the TI-1105 and the TI-108.
Three years later TI created again a very stylish calculator, view the TI-701.
A similar technology could be found in the Creeks N' Creeks.
