The Display Masters Seminar Series - LC Masters Speaker ： Dr. Martin Schadt Inventor of Twisted Nematic (TN) effect MS-High-Tech Consulting, Seltisberg, Switzerland Presentation Title: Overview from the Beginning to the Present of LCDs Dr. Martin Schadt was born on 16th August 1938 in Liestal, Switzerland. In 1967 he obtained a doctoral degree in Experimental Physics from the University of Basel.In 1969 he and D.F Williams patented the first solid state, organic light emitting display (OLED). In 1970 Dr. Helfrich and Dr. Schadt invented the twisted nematic (TN)-effect at F. Hoffmann-La Roche. The Roche TN-field-effect patent was granted in 20 countries, and the invention initiated a paradigm change towards flat panel field-effect liquid crystal displays (LCDs) enabling today’s LCD industry. Dr. Schadt became a Fellow of the Society Information Display (SID) in 1992 and a Fellow of the European Academy of Sciences in He is inventor or co-inventor of 166 patent families filed in Europe (EP) and holds more than 119 US patents. He has published 180 scientific papers in leading scientific journals, has given more than 138 lectures and contributed to 5 books. The important Awards that Dr. Martin received in recent 5 years are: Eduard Rhein Technoloy Prize(2009). The G.W. Gray Medal of the British Liquid Crystal Society and the Blaise Pascal Medal for Material Sciences of the European Academy of Sciences (2010). The Frederiks Medal, highest recognition award of the Russian Liquid Crystal Society (2011). The Charles Stark Draper Prize of the US National Academy of Sciences (known as the “Engineering Nobel Prize”) together with G. Heilmeier, W. Helfrich and P. Brody (2012). Honorary Professorship of Sichuan University, Chengdu (2013). Honorary Professorship of Nanjing University, Nanjing (2013). European Inventor Award 2013 for Lifetime Achievement (2013). Recipient of US National Academy Inventors NAI (2014). 報名網址 : 連絡人：張小姐 ( #52925
