# Drawing tablet brands vs digitizers

## Overview

All drawing tablets have multiple components, but the primary component is the EMR sensor, which is also called the **digitizer**.

Despite the many drawing tablet brands you see, there are only a couple of digitizer manufacturers. These are Wacom, Hanvon Ugee, and Huion.

## Which digitizers go into which brands

* **Wacom** digitizers are used in their own products.
* **Hanvon Ugee** supplies digitizers to Ugee, Xencelabs and XP-Pen tablets.
* **Huion** supplies digitizers for Gaomon, Huion, and Veikk tablets. Huion acquired Artisul/UCLogic in 2019 - though it is unclear if Huion digitizers are in Artisul tablets or if Artisul tablets use some other digitizer.

## Acquisitions

* Huion acquired UCLogic in 2019 (<https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/UC-Logic_Technology_Corp.>)
