This
Toshiba SLC-8300 seems to be the first scientifical calculator using a LCD
display. It was introduced already in the year 1977 and predates even the TI-25 !
The calculator chip inside was found in some OEM products like the Radio Shack EC-496, too.
Toshiba? Compare this calculator with the TI-30 SLR.
Don't miss the RFT MR610, a
nearly perfect copy of the SLC-8300.
