Since Heilmeier developed the first liquid crystal display (LCD) in 1968, LCD has been widely used in various electronic products. In recent years, with the popularization of large-size panels, LCD, as a display, has gradually replaced the traditional CRT display with its advantages of thinness and power saving. Heiermeier asserted that "a wall-mounted TV full of dreams will be realized in a few years".
As for the detailed story, I'm sorry, because he has no autobiography and his story is rarely exposed! Only the following parts:
When he was a doctor, in order to earn some pocket money, he worked in the david sarnoff Research Center of RCA, studying microwave solid-state devices. That thing is the originator of the most popular electrical appliances-mobile phone chips.
At first, after listening to the boss's bluff, he changed his thesis direction to organic semiconductors, and then published half a dozen academic papers, applied for more than a dozen patents, and invented the world's first practical liquid crystal display (LCD) by the way. The invention of this device is due to his colleague richard williams's discovery that when a voltage is applied to the liquid crystal surface, it will produce a photoelectric effect (hereinafter referred to as Williams domain). Two years later, he discovered a new photoelectric effect-dynamic scattering mode. As a result, there are $39 billion worth of digital cameras, computer monitors, flat-panel TVs and enterprises around the world every year.
He was 28 years old that year.
Then, he found that the bosses who sat in the office and were busy with meetings day and night didn't really care about this thing. He went to the Defense Advanced Projects Research Agency (DARPA) 5 1 proving ground near Lake groome, Nevada. In those three years, the first stealth plane in human history set sail.
He also served as chief technology officer at TI, and set up a DSP R&D team, which not only saved this Texas chip company from the 1980s when the Japanese dumped land at low prices, but also helped it grow into a semiconductor giant with more than 10,000 people. He is also the CEO of Bellcore, transforming it from a research institute of baby bells to an outpost of the Internet revolution.
PS: I don't quite understand how Baidu recommends the answer. Toshiba is not the real inventor of LCD! Instead, LCD technology is used to improve the display of notebook computers. In Toshiba's first real notebook computer, LCD has been applied to the whole machine scheme! Hehe, I don't understand, I really don't understand.
