The tablets that bridge officers were signing reports on from Star Trek TOS, which started airing in 1966, precedes that. They were boxier but clearly electronic.

I'd be curious if someone has tracked down the first of each modern thing
Dick Tracy (1933) had a smart watch - personal communicator
Bell Labs (1938) had video calls (facetime)
The Foundation (1951) had info tablets
No idea if they are the first of each
