Special:Badtitle/NS90:Milestone-Proposal talk:Sharp 14-inch thin-film-transistor liquid-crystal display (TFT-LCD) for TV, which has ushered in TFT LCD industry/my findings

1. The proposer must be aware of the existing IEEE Milestone for Display, 1968 
Princeton, NJ, U.S.A., dedicated on 30 September 2006. The proposal duplicates or distract from our approved milestone.

Somewhere in the Wall Street Journal, George Heilmeier gives credit to Sharp's great works when he says “I think you need to give the credit to the people who persevered and worked on LCDs for 25 years. I don’t spend too much time wringing my hands about it, but I have a lot of satisfaction knowing we had the same vision in the 1960s.” George Harry Heilmeier is an American engineer who was a pioneering contributor to displays and is credited with the of LC-Display. Now George may not want to spend time on this, but the IEEE History Center and the proposer must both find time to mesh these great works properly.

2. Plaque Location: No IEEE plaque should be mounted in a private collection or museum behind closed doors that required the public to make an appointment. Mount the plaque outdoors or in the lobby.

3. The writeup says that Sharp has 'milestones' in their collection and that the world’s first mini calculator resides somewhere at the British Science Museum in London. For the sake of this proposal removed this company advertising.
