[amagoun]

         The IEEE Princeton/Central Jersey Section, along with
Dr. Michael Lightner, Sarnoff Corporation, and the David Sarnoff Library

                        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.  For an
