| I agree 100% with Juancarlos-san saying "we should be sure there are two different facts worthy of two different milestones."
| |
|
| |
|
| 1st. Essential key words of my proposal entitled "Sharp 14-inch thin-film-transistor display (-LCD) for , which has ushered in LCD industry" are:
| |
|
| |
| 1. 14-inch
| |
|
| |
| 2. thin-film-transistor()
| |
|
| |
| 3. liquid crystal display(LCD)
| |
|
| |
| "another IEEE Milestone approved for the Liquid Crystal Displays, 1968" is for only for LCD: neither 14-inch LCD, nor 14-inch for TV were feasible in 1968.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| 2nd. "another IEEE Milestone approved for the Liquid Crystal Displays" is what is quoted below:

| |
|
| |
| "Liquid Crystal Display, 1968
| |
| Princeton, NJ, U.S.A., Dedicated 30 September 2006 -- IEEE Princeton and Central New Jersey Section
| |
|
| |
| Between 1964 and 1968, at the RCA David Sarnoff Research Center in Princeton, New Jersey, a team of engineers and scientists led by George . Heilmeier with Louis A. Zanoni and Lucian A. Barton, devised a method for electronic control of light reflected from liquid crystals and demonstrated the first liquid crystal display. Their work launched a global industry that now produces millions of LCDs annually for watches, , in televisions, and ."

| Below is a quote from "B.J. Lechner: History Crystallized_A First-Person Account of the Development of Matrix-Addressed LCDs_for television at RCA in the 1960s; Information Display 1/08 p26-30":
| |
|
| |
| "During 1969, RCA abandoned entirely the objective of making a liquid crystal display: By 1969, RCA's color receiver business was matured and the smallest consumer product of significance was a 13-in. color set. Because we could not promise to compete with such a product in any foreseeable time frame, had no interest in investing further."
| |
|
| |
| In 1969, RCA abandoned LC TV because 13-inch, minimum size for TV, color LCD did not seem to be possible in the foreseeable future; in 1987, Sharp adopted 14-inch to demonstrate -LCD could be used for TV.
| |
|
| |
| In 1975, Sharp started research and development work on for LCD.
| |
|
| |
| 18 years between RCA 1969 and Sharp 1987 was required for LCD and TFT to be developed good enough for LCD and TFT, integrated together, to be 14-inch TFT-LCD for TV.
