1960’s

In the 60’s, initiative and foresight produced innovations that exceeded what was thought to be possible. Our scientists and engineers discovered the basic chemistry and first applications for liquid crystal displays (LCDs), paving the way for today’s flat-panel displays. We pioneered CMOS ICs, a vital technology that can be found in a vast majority of the world’s electronic circuitry. Sarnoff staff created the process of liquid phase epitaxy for mass production of lasers, as well as the all solid-state imager.
