Company Profile
Dolby Laboratories
Company Overview
Making experiences come alive through technology is what we do. It's been our mission since day one.
It began with our founder, Ray Dolby, a visionary scientist and inventor. As a young engineer and music lover, he was driven to improve the listening experience. And with that simple motivation, plus countless hours of experimentation, he created a solution—a solution that was elegant and practical, highly sophisticated, and wholly devoted to the artist's vision.
Dolby Laboratories is now home to hundreds of scientists and engineers dedicated to the study of human perception, the experience of artistic immersion, and the joy of creative invention. We pour our genius and imagination into technological breakthroughs that are transforming today's audio and visual experiences in ways you never thought possible. And we're just getting started.
We invite you to learn more about how Dolby is a part of your life, wherever it takes you, from the cinema to your home, from the office to your travels, from the big screen to the small screens.
Company History
When Ray Dolby founded Dolby Laboratories in 1965, movies and television featured only one channel of sound, and record producers were limited to a handful of audio tracks. Much of what happened since then to improve the sound of entertainment can be traced to the efforts of Ray Dolby—not just his technical innovations but the impact they had on artists.
"Dolby's work changed the way movies were made," said director Philip Kaufman, "because sound became a powerful artistic element, and you could do things with sound that had never been done before."
