Liquid crystals were studied by many people for some 80 years before they were successfully applied to information display during the 1960s. George H. Heilmeier was inducted in the National Inventors Hall of Fame and credited with the invention of Liquid Crystal Displays (LCDs). Many others have worked over the years since to understand liquid crystals better and to improve LCDs.

Richard Williams: In 1962, generated stripe-patterns in a thin layer of liquid crystal material by the application of a voltage. This effect is based on an electro-hydrodynamic instability forming what is now called "Williams domains" inside the liquid crystal.
George Heilmeier: Between 1964 and 1968, at the RCA David Sarnoff Research Center in Princeton, New Jersey, a team of engineers and scientists led by George Heilmeier with Louis Zanoni and Lucian Barton, devised a method for electronic control of light reflected from liquid crystals and demonstrated the first liquid crystal display.
James Fergason: Inventor, James Fergason holds some of the fundamental patents in liquid crystal displays filed in the early 1970's, including key US patent number 3,731,986 for "Display Devices Utilizing Liquid Crystal Light Modulation"
In 1972, the International Liquid Crystal Company (ILIXCO) owned by James Fergason produced the first modern LCD watch based on James Fergason's patent.
