SID 50th Anniversary
As part of the UK & Ireland Chapter's response to the 50th Anniversary of the founding of the Society for Information Display, two members have written articles:
UK Contributions to LCD Technology
We are indebted to Professor Peter Raynes, a pivotal figure in the development of LCD technology in the UK for his recollections of key moments of discovery.
Notes on the Development of the UKI Chapter
We also thank Dr John Mansell, an active committee member of the UK & Ireland chapter for his account of its founding.
