Cordially Invite You to
The Dedication of the IEEE Milestone
for the Invention of
Liquid Crystal Displays
Between 1964 and 1968, a team of engineers and scientists led by George Heilmeier with Louis Zanoni and Lucian Barton at RCA's David Sarnoff Research Center devised a method for the electronic control of light reflected from liquid crystals. Their demonstration of the world's first LCDs launched a global industry that produces millions of displays annually for watches, calculators, instruments, telephones, televisions, and computers.

The IEEE Milestone program honors significant achievements in electrical, electronic, and computer engineering. The Milestones are intended to increase public understanding of these forms of engineering; increase community appreciation for engineers; foster pride among engineers of their history; stimulate documentation of significant events and preservation of historic sites; and make the information widely available. Since their inception in 1982, over 70 Milestones have been dedicated around the world.
Please also join Sarnoff Corporation and many others as a sponsor in the program book, which will be distributed at the ceremony.
