Electronics engineer George H. Heilmeier, whose research led to the development of the LCD, is one of three recipients of the 21st annual Kyoto Prizes, awarded by the Inamori Foundation in Kyoto, Japan. Chairman emeritus of Telcordia Technologies Inc of Piscataway, New Jersey, Heilmeier will receive the 2005 Kyoto Prize in Advanced Technology “for pioneering contributions to the realization of flat-panel displays using liquid crystals.” Heilmeier will receive a diploma, a Kyoto Prize medal, and a cash prize of ¥50 million (approximately $460 000) when he and other laureates convene for ceremonies in November in Kyoto. The other recipients do not work in physics-related fields.
