Progress in display-device development in Western Europe

A review of the basic research and industrial development of display devices in Western Europe during the years 1968 to early 1973 will be given. The display types considered are: 1) active displays such as cathode ray tubes, light-emitting diodes, electroluminescence cells, and gas discharge devices, and 2) passive displays such as laser displays, light valves, and ferroelectric and liquid-crystal devices.
