Upcoming Events

Dr. Martin Schadt from Switzerland is coming to CREOL on Apr. 26. He invented the twisted nematic field effect (TN-effect) which is widely used in flat panel displays nowadays. He just received the Nation Academy of Engineering Draper Prize in 2012.

Dr. Martin Schadt patented the first organic light emitting display (OLED) in 1969 as a post doc fellow at Canada’s National Research Council. He then joined the Laboratoire Suisse de Recherche Horlogère at Neuchâtel of Omega. Two years later he became a member of the newly founded research group at the Central Research Center of Hoffmann-La Roche working on liquid crystal field-effects and LC-materials. He was appointed head of the liquid crystal department inventing many new electro-optical effects, commercial liquid crystal materials and the photo-polymer liquid crystal alignment technology. From 1994 he headed the spin-off company Rolic Ltd. as its CEO. He is active as a scientific adviser to governments and industrial research groups.

A seminar will be held at 11am in CREOL A214. He will introduce his work on liquid crystal displays and materials.
