Samsung LCD TV - Where Did it Come From?

LCD, plasma, and DLP are the three technologies that are competing to be considered the best. The liquid crystal display is the most likely candidate to win.

LCD TV has become popular in the recent years. Its popularity can now be compared to DVD players. LCD televisions have up-to-date HD TV that has a quality picture and high color quality. However, little do we know how LCD technology came to be and to whom should we be thankful for. This LCD technology actually dates back 1888 by an Austrian scientist Friedrich Reinitzer. See how old this concept had been? George Heilmeier was the first one who had the courage to use this on commercial products. He was an electrical engineer from University of Pennsylvania and he has PhD, MSE, and Masters in Solid State electronics from Princeton. He was able to work with the following people: Joseph Catellano, Nunzio Luce, Lucian Barton, Richard Williams, Louis Zanoni, and Joel Goldmacher. Together, they shaped the LCD technology as we have it now.

Big things come from small ones. So before the LCD TV become one whole piece, the parts that make it up as a whole were first developed. LCD is the result of experimenting with the liquid crystals. RCA found out that they can produce digital clocks with this technology, as well as calculators, watches, and many more. Heilmeier was the one responsible for the digital alarm that we use very much today.

The next in line who was given the task of further developing the LCD technology was none other than James Fergason, a University of Missouri graduate. He was the associate director at Kent State University. He discovered the nematic field effect which became the sample LCD TV display up to present. In 1971, the first LCD TV was out in the market. There were ghosting images on screen that caused much disappointment to many. But as we now see today, they have made the necessary adjustments and the image quality of the modern day LCD TV is almost perfect.

With the popularity that the LCD television is gaining, it will soon totally replace the old CRT monitors that we have. Maybe it is indeed time to switch to LCD technology to experience one of a kind TV viewing experience. With the HD feature of these televisions, you are surely glued to your favorite show.
